Middle East

 

The countries of the Middle East are undergoing a remarkable transformation of their role and significance in the world with sharp increases in per capita incomes, enhanced economic integration and significant changes in their economic systems.
The region's total population has doubled over the past quarter-century and more particularly, there have been huge inflows of immigrants during this period, with the fast-growing economies of Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) seeing their populations increase fourfold, fueling their strong growth.

In the past decade, the transformation has gathered speed, with GDP growth outpacing population growth. There have been many important drivers of this transformation. The primary ones are:

 
  1. Increasing integration-both within the region and with the rest of the world-as the economies of the region have become more open. Trade (exports plus imports) increased from 50 percent of the region's GDP in 1990 to 90 percent in 2008.
  2. Diversification and growth in the non-oil sector. Considerable growth in construction and services sectors has increased.
  3. The financial sector is growing rapidly in all countries and is increasingly contributing to private sector development.

All this transformation is focused towards market forces in the private sector. Governments are privatizing state-owned corporations in the banking, telecommunications, and utilities sectors. Foreign participation is on the rise, and public-private partnerships with foreign companies are becoming more common. .
