It explores current policies of countries in the Gulf Cooperation Council and their efforts to shift their economies away from heavy dependence on hydrocarbons. The structural changes will create favorable conditions for the private sector to flourish, shift production dependence from public to private sector, and allow for more efficient resource allocation. Such changes will also allow local banks to provide financial support to small and medium enterprises, boost entrepreneurship for job creation, and strengthen organizational structure and efficiency.  This is the first volume in Economic Diversification in the Gulf Region. 410 0$aThe Political Economy of the Middle East,$x2522-8862 606 $aInternational economic relations 606 $aMiddle East$xEconomic conditions 606 $aAfrica, North$xEconomic conditions 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aRegionalism 606 $aInternational Political Economy' 606 $aMiddle Eastern/North African Economics 606 $aDevelopment Economics 606 $aRegionalism 615 0$aInternational economic relations. 615 0$aMiddle East$xEconomic conditions. 615 0$aAfrica, North$xEconomic conditions. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aRegionalism. 615 14$aInternational Political Economy'. 615 24$aMiddle Eastern/North African Economics. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aRegionalism. 676 $a338.956 702 $aMishrif$b Ashraf$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aAl Balushi$b Yousuf$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300526603321 996 $aEconomic Diversification in the Gulf Region, Volume I$92057052 997 $aUNINA
