Noted: Mr. Tim Callen Reda Cherif Fuad Hasanov Mr. Amgad Hegazy Padamja Khandelwal The economies of the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations are greatly reliant on oil. Greater financial diversity would lower their direct exposure to volatility and uncertainty in the international oil market, assistance produce jobs in the economic sector, increase performance and sustainable growth, and assist develop the non-oil economy that will be needed in the future when oil earnings begin to dwindle.
Success to date has been limited. This paper argues that increased diversity will need straightening incentives for firms and employees in the economiesfixing these incentives is the "missing link" in the GCC nations' diversification methods. At present, producing non-tradables is less dangerous and more profitable for firms as they can gain from the easy availability of low-wage foreign labor and the fast growth in federal government costs, while the ongoing availability of high-paying and protected public sector tasks dissuades nationals from pursuing entrepreneurship and economic sector employment.

Employing an empirical and comparative technique, this term paper analyses the previous record and future trends of financial diversity efforts in the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations. Applying the method of material analysis, possible future diversity patterns are studied from present development plans and national visions published by the GCC governments.
Existing development plans point all to diversification as the means to secure the stability and the sustainability of income levels in the future. Despite the fact that the states continue to lead the economies, diversification requires a reinvigoration of the personal sector and as such necessitates the execution of wider reforms. The paper, nevertheless, questions the possibility of diversity plans being equated into action.
The policy action to pre-empt the Arab Spring uprising shows that these routines easily provide up their well-argued and planned policies when under pressure and fall back on recognized methods of doing service, particularly through patronage and the primary role of the public sector. Thus, the prospect of diversifying economies through politically tough economic reforms has suffered a considerable setback.
