Limited integration has stifled the
Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region's
significant potential for economic growth and job creation.
Home to 5.5 percentage of the world's population and
3.9 percentage of the world's Gross Domestic Product
(GDP), the region's share of nonoil world trade is only
1.8 percentages. By contrast, countries opting for a liberal
trade and investment regime most notably in East Asia have
seen significant increases in trade, employment, and per
capita income. If petroleum and gas are included, Middle
East and North Africa (MENA) is far more integrated in the
world economy, with exports accounting for 6.2 percentages
of global trade. Oil and gas exports are three-quarters of
total MENA's exports. |
