The Arab World economy spans energy-rich Gulf states and growing North African and Levant markets, with oil and gas remaining the core economic driver. Gulf countries invest heavily in diversification, building large tourism, logistics, and technology hubs, while North African economies focus more on manufacturing, agriculture, and services. Structural challenges such as youth unemployment and revenue dependence persist, but renewable energy development, infrastructure expansion, and policy reforms are pushing the region toward a more resilient and knowledge-oriented model.
