Recent economic trends and the challenges posed by the global crisis reinforce the importance of implementing strategies for development as opposed to leaving the economy to market forces. Countries need a strategic compass for long-run economic development, either explicitly or implicitly. This comprises macroeconomic policies, sectoral policies (including the financial sector, trade and industrial policies), institution building in key areas and development-friendly global governance. The authors of this publication share the notion that developing countries can and should learn more from each other, as well as from their own past experience. Seven country studies contribute to this approach.

In addition to conflicts and security disruptions in the Arab region, a significant fall in oil prices and their uncertain prospects have become a predominant economic concern. Nevertheless, member countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) have continued to lead growth in the region. The present edition looks at the continued expansion of the non-oil sector as it maintains GCC economic growth. Lower oil prices have not yet negatively affected the GCC economically, although confidence has dropped with weakening stock markets and real estate transactions. Lower oil prices have benefited oil-importing Arab countries by easing their balance-of-payment and fiscal constraints.
