Noted: Mr. Tim Callen Reda Cherif Fuad Hasanov Mr. Amgad Hegazy Padamja Khandelwal The economies of the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations are heavily dependent on oil. Greater financial diversity would decrease their exposure to volatility and uncertainty in the worldwide oil market, aid produce jobs in the personal sector, increase performance and sustainable growth, and help develop the non-oil economy that will be needed in the future when oil revenues begin to decrease.
Nonetheless, success to date has actually been limited. This paper argues that increased diversification will need realigning incentives for firms and workers in the economiesfixing these incentives is the "missing link" in the GCC countries' diversity methods. At present, producing non-tradables is less dangerous and more profitable for companies as they can gain from the simple schedule of low-wage foreign labor and the quick growth in government spending, while the continued availability of high-paying and safe and secure public sector jobs dissuades nationals from pursuing entrepreneurship and economic sector employment.

Employing an empirical and relative technique, this research paper analyses the past record and future patterns of economic diversity efforts in the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Using the approach of content analysis, possible future diversification patterns are studied from current advancement plans and nationwide visions released by the GCC federal governments.
Present advancement plans point all to diversity as the ways to protect the stability and the sustainability of earnings levels in the future. Although the states continue to lead the economies, diversity entails a reinvigoration of the economic sector and as such demands the execution of wider reforms. The paper, however, questions the likelihood of diversity strategies being equated into action.
Moreover, the policy reaction to pre-empt the Arab Spring uprising indicates that these regimes easily offer up their well-argued and scheduled policies when under pressure and fall back on established methods of operating, particularly through patronage and the primary function of the public sector. The possibility of diversifying economies through politically difficult economic reforms has suffered a significant obstacle.
