Greater economic diversification would minimize their direct exposure to volatility and unpredictability in the global oil market, assistance produce jobs in the private sector, increase efficiency and sustainable growth, and help produce the non-oil economy that will be needed in the future when oil earnings start to diminish.

Even though the states continue to lead the economies, diversity requires a reinvigoration of the personal sector and as such necessitates the application of more comprehensive reforms. The paper, however, questions the likelihood of diversity plans being translated into action.

The policy reaction to pre-empt the Arab Spring uprising indicates that these programs quickly provide up their well-argued and planned policies when under pressure and fall back on established ways of doing company, particularly through patronage and the predominant function of the public sector. For this reason, the possibility of diversifying economies through politically difficult economic reforms has suffered a considerable setback.
