Listed: 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 economic diversification would minimize their exposure to volatility and uncertainty in the international oil market, help produce tasks in the economic sector, boost performance and sustainable development, and help produce the non-oil economy that will be required in the future when oil incomes start to decrease.
Success to date has been restricted. This paper argues that increased diversification will require realigning rewards for companies and employees in the economiesfixing these incentives is the "missing link" in the GCC countries' diversity techniques. At present, producing non-tradables is less dangerous and more rewarding for firms as they can benefit from the easy accessibility of low-wage foreign labor and the rapid growth in government costs, while the ongoing schedule of high-paying and safe and secure public sector jobs prevents nationals from pursuing entrepreneurship and economic sector work.

Employing an empirical and comparative approach, this research paper analyses the previous record and future trends of economic diversity efforts in the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Using the approach of content analysis, possible future diversity patterns are studied from present advancement plans and national visions released by the GCC federal governments.
Existing advancement plans point all to diversification as the means to protect the stability and the sustainability of earnings levels in the future. Despite the fact that the states continue to lead the economies, diversity entails a reinvigoration of the economic sector and as such necessitates the implementation of more comprehensive reforms. The paper, however, concerns the possibility of diversification strategies being translated into action.
The policy reaction to pre-empt the Arab Spring uprising shows that these routines easily offer up their well-argued and organized policies when under pressure and fall back on recognized ways of doing service, namely through patronage and the predominant role of the public sector. The possibility of diversifying economies through politically hard economic reforms has actually suffered a considerable problem.
