Noted: Mr. Tim Callen Reda Cherif Fuad Hasanov Mr. Amgad Hegazy Padamja Khandelwal The economies of the 6 Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations are heavily reliant on oil. Greater economic diversity would reduce their direct exposure to volatility and uncertainty in the global oil market, assistance develop tasks in the private sector, boost performance and sustainable development, and help create the non-oil economy that will be required in the future when oil earnings start to decrease.
Nonetheless, success to date has been restricted. This paper argues that increased diversification will require straightening incentives for firms and workers in the economiesfixing these rewards is the "missing link" in the GCC nations' diversification strategies. At present, producing non-tradables is less dangerous and more successful for firms as they can benefit from the simple accessibility of low-wage foreign labor and the rapid growth in government spending, while the ongoing availability of high-paying and safe and secure public sector jobs prevents nationals from pursuing entrepreneurship and economic sector work.

Using an empirical and relative method, this research paper analyses the past record and future trends of financial diversification efforts in the 6 Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Using the methodology of content analysis, possible future diversification trends are studied from present advancement strategies and nationwide visions released by the GCC governments.
Present development plans point unanimously to diversification as the methods to protect the stability and the sustainability of earnings levels in the future. Even though the states continue to lead the economies, diversification involves a reinvigoration of the private sector and as such requires the application of wider reforms. The paper, nevertheless, questions the likelihood of diversity plans being translated into action.
Additionally, the policy reaction to pre-empt the Arab Spring uprising indicates that these programs easily offer up their well-argued and organized policies when under pressure and fall back on established methods of working, specifically through patronage and the primary role of the general public sector. The possibility of diversifying economies through politically difficult economic reforms has suffered a substantial problem.
