Economy, Finance and Trade in the Middle East and Africa

The Middle East and Africa (MEA) is home to greatly differing economies, with the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) being among the richest globally in terms of GDP per capita, while many Sub-Saharan markets belong to the poorest nations worldwide. The region remains highly dependent on hydrocarbons, with oil prices being the prime determinant of economic performance across MEA. While obstacles to investment remain, improvements across MEA are being witnessed in terms of FDI.
