Introduction

The drop in oil prices has severely affected the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). This has lowered government revenues and in return negatively affected spending plans. Oil prices decline is expected to continue in spite of the GCC governments efforts to support non-oil sector revenues to fund their spending programs and reinforce the regional economic growth and diversification. In addition, the oil price drop has negatively impacted the RHC sector (real estate, hospitality and construction) across the GCC with a slowdown that is expected to continue over the next few years. However, the governments commitment to host mega events, such as Expo 2020 Dubai, 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar and various national initiatives of the GCC governments should boost that sector as well as the overall economy performance.
