The decline of oil prices between summer 2014 and fall 2015 underscores the urgency for the Gulf Falcons to diversify away from their current heavy reliance on oil exports. This book discusses attempts at diversification in the Middle East and North Africa and the complex choices policymakers face. It brings together the views of academics and policymakers to offer practical advice for future efforts to increase productivity growth.Diversification in industryPersian Gulf RegionDiversification in industryPersian Gulf RegionEconomic policyDeveloping countriesEconomic policyElectronic books.Diversification in industryDiversification in industry.338.9536Cherif RedaHasanov Fuad Zhu Min MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910467024503321Breaking the oil spell2444366UNINA
