Foreword
We are pleased to publish the sixth edition of Economic Statistics for GCC Countries.
Although the information contained is available from various published sources, we have
produced it in a single volume covering: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the
United Arab Emirates. We tried to be comprehensive in providing both domestic and external
economic data on the countries concerned.
The rationale for this volume is to provide a comparative picture of the countries in the region.
Some information, however, is available for some countries but not others. All information,
though, was sourced through ofcial national and international organizations, including: the
World Bank, IMF, UNCTAD and OECD.
Our objective is to provide interested parties, whether investors or researchers, with reliable
information on the economies of the six countries. The GCC region is gaining in stature among
emerging market economies and we hope that we are responding to a need for information on
this growing region.
The Economics and Strategy Division at GIC intends to continue its annual updating of this publication and if the reader nds this compendium practical and benecial, GIC would have
achieved its objective. We also welcome the readers feedback.
