Oct 2019 Walid Majdalani, Head of Investcorp Private Equity MENA organization, describes the attractive opportunities of investing in GCC Infrastructure, driven by the area's development and federal government initiatives.
Diversity is achieve a well balanced economy,, Diversity visions and techniques exist. But there were and The, by producing an index with no qualitative/perceptions indications. The overall Worldwide EDI is composed of tracking. As commodity exporters diversify, lower their reliance on resource leas and possibly score a higher score on the EDI.
For non-diversified nations, when cost of the commodity falls, there is a substantial decrease in government revenue, public spending, bank account balance and international reserves: more volatility. The (including significant product exporters, not limited to just oil) over the, across 25 indicators (consisting of three digital indications). North America, Western Europe and East Asia Pacific countries top EDI ratings for many years.
Although structural reforms and diversification efforts carried out by the GCC impacted MENA's regional scores positively, it still lags five other local groups., with the leading 10 countries having less than a 10-point distinction in ratings (indicating the strength of diversity)., together with four upper-middle income (China, Mexico, Turkey and Thailand) and one lower middle-income nation (India, ranked 20th, driven by its services export boom).
Among the e. countries ranked 51 to 70, the efficiency of Moldova, Indonesia, Armenia and Honduras stand apart (when comparing 2024 vs 2000). years, provided sped up diversity plans of lots of oil-exporting countries. published a constant improvement due to a mix of lowered reliance on fuel exports, reduced exports concentration and a modification in the composition of exports.
with oil exporters having the least expensive ratings (though individual country-specific performance has actually differed with time). Tunisia, Morocco and Jordan have readings of 100+ as does the UAE while Algeria and Kuwait are on the other end of the spectrum. Across all regions, the average rating is the for both 2000 and 2024, and the greatest in The United States and Canada.
In 2024, the (China was amongst the top ranked, while Mongolia's score worsened compared to 2000)., but more to do with a "levelling up" at the bottom rather than an improvement among the top countries. By comparing the (height of the blue box), least variability is seen in South Asia in 2000 and the most in the MENA area (with variation likely driven by the dichotomy within the area between the resource-heavy states (e.g.
Sub-Saharan African nations account for around one-third of the overall, followed by Latin America and the Middle East (the latter two together representing over 40% of the total). Including, there has been an (from 90.3 in 2000-04 to 92.6 and 92.3 in the 5 years pre- and post-pandemic ).

The caught or worse off nations are some parts of Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa where structural transformation has actually stalled.

Its diversification metrics have stagnated, showing the least improvement in between the preliminary (2000-04) and last (2020-24) referral periods., in spite of the headwinds of OPEC+ production cuts. A robust non-hydrocarbon growth was supported by the GCC's robust domestic demand (supported by a strong job pipeline and application) and strong services sector performance.
Kuwait and Saudi Arabia clocked in an increase in non-hydrocarbon revenue, "mainly showing non-hydrocarbon tax base growths and earnings collection efficiency improvements", according to the IMF. In the present geopolitical environment characterized by magnifying, it is in the very best interests of product dependent nations to diversify its export base, exports and trade partners.
