Listed: Mr. Tim Callen Reda Cherif Fuad Hasanov Mr. Amgad Hegazy Padamja Khandelwal The economies of the 6 Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations are heavily dependent on oil. Greater financial diversity would reduce their direct exposure to volatility and unpredictability in the worldwide oil market, aid produce jobs in the private sector, increase efficiency and sustainable growth, and help develop the non-oil economy that will be required in the future when oil incomes start to decrease.
Success to date has been restricted. This paper argues that increased diversity will require straightening rewards for firms and workers in the economiesfixing these incentives is the "missing link" in the GCC countries' diversification strategies.

Using an empirical and comparative method, this term paper analyses the previous record and future patterns of financial diversification efforts in the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Using the methodology of material analysis, possible future diversity trends are studied from present development strategies and nationwide visions released by the GCC governments.
Current development strategies point all to diversity as the methods to secure the stability and the sustainability of income levels in the future. Even though the states continue to lead the economies, diversification involves a reinvigoration of the economic sector and as such necessitates the execution of wider reforms. The paper, however, concerns the likelihood of diversity plans being equated into action.
Furthermore, the policy reaction to pre-empt the Arab Spring uprising indicates that these regimes easily give up their well-argued and scheduled policies when under pressure and draw on established ways of operating, specifically through patronage and the predominant role of the public sector. Hence, the possibility of diversifying economies through politically hard economic reforms has actually suffered a substantial setback.
