Noted: Mr. Tim Callen Reda Cherif Fuad Hasanov Mr. Amgad Hegazy Padamja Khandelwal The economies of the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are heavily dependent on oil. Greater financial diversification would minimize their direct exposure to volatility and uncertainty in the worldwide oil market, assistance develop jobs in the economic sector, boost efficiency and sustainable growth, and help develop the non-oil economy that will be required in the future when oil earnings start to decrease.
Nevertheless, success to date has been restricted.

At present, producing non-tradables is less risky and more rewarding for companies as they can take advantage of the simple schedule of low-wage foreign labor and the fast growth in federal government spending, while the ongoing availability of high-paying and protected public sector tasks discourages nationals from pursuing entrepreneurship and personal sector employment.

Applying the method of content analysis, possible future diversity trends are studied from present advancement plans and national visions published by the GCC governments.
Present advancement plans point all to diversification as the means to protect 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 economic sector and as such demands the implementation of broader reforms. The paper, however, concerns the possibility of diversification strategies being translated into action.
