Noted: Mr. Tim Callen Reda Cherif Fuad Hasanov Mr. Amgad Hegazy Padamja Khandelwal The economies of the 6 Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are heavily dependent on oil. Greater financial diversity would decrease their direct exposure to volatility and uncertainty in the international oil market, assistance produce jobs in the economic sector, boost efficiency and sustainable growth, and help create the non-oil economy that will be needed in the future when oil profits begin to diminish.

However, success to date has actually been restricted. This paper argues that increased diversification will need straightening rewards for firms and employees in the economiesfixing these rewards is the "missing link" in the GCC countries' diversification strategies. At present, producing non-tradables is less risky and more successful for firms as they can gain from the simple accessibility of low-wage foreign labor and the fast development in government spending, while the continued availability of high-paying and protected public sector tasks dissuades nationals from pursuing entrepreneurship and economic sector employment.

Current development strategies point all to diversity as the methods to secure the stability and the sustainability of earnings levels in the future. Even though the states continue to lead the economies, diversity involves a reinvigoration of the economic sector and as such demands the application of broader reforms. The paper, however, concerns the possibility of diversification plans being translated into action.

The policy response to pre-empt the Arab Spring uprising indicates that these regimes quickly provide up their well-argued and planned policies when under pressure and fall back on established methods of doing organization, particularly through patronage and the predominant role of the public sector. The possibility of diversifying economies through politically challenging economic reforms has actually suffered a significant obstacle.
