description | The article is devoted to the national economy transformations of the GCC States (Cooperation Council
for the Arab States of the Gulf countries). This paper analyzes the dynamics of socio-economic development
of the Gulf Group countries for the last 10 years, compares and systematizes the traditional and unique statistical
data in order to prove the hypothesis that the positive dynamics was not only due to the high hydrocarbon
prices on the global market but also to the successful structural transformation. The growth of the regional
economy in the conditions of an almost threefold drop in world oil prices over the past three years is
shown. We use systemic approach, comparative and statistical analysis. As the analysis of economic situation
and development in the GCC countries at the current stage shows, all of them need to change the structure
of the national economy and diversify it in order to reduce the dependence from mining industries, world
prices fluctuations. This paper proposes a number of practical considerations and appropriate measures
for the formation of more rational structure of the national economies, including the diversification of the
sources of budget revenues through expanding industrialization; accelerating development of solid minerals
and the creation of new industries using them. As Gulf States belong to the group of emerging countries
and the structure of their national economies is similar with the Russian economy, the factors of the positive
changes of the national economies will be useful for Russian and foreign researchers. |
