Despite the fact that structural reforms and diversification efforts undertaken by the GCC affected MENA's regional ratings positively, it still lags five other local groups., with the top 10 nations having less than a 10-point difference in scores (implying the strength of diversification)., alongside 4 upper-middle earnings (China, Mexico, Turkey and Thailand) and one lower middle-income country (India, ranked 20th, driven by its services export boom).

Amongst the e. nations ranked 51 to 70, the efficiency of Moldova, Indonesia, Armenia and Honduras stand out (when comparing 2024 vs 2000). years, provided accelerated diversity plans of lots of oil-exporting countries. posted a constant improvement due to a combination of minimized reliance on fuel exports, reduced exports concentration and a modification in the composition of exports.

with oil exporters having the most affordable scores (though private country-specific performance has actually varied in time). Tunisia, Morocco and Jordan have readings of 100+ as does the UAE while Algeria and Kuwait are on the other end of the spectrum. Across all regions, the mean rating is the for both 2000 and 2024, and the highest in North America.

Its diversification metrics have actually stagnated, revealing the least improvement between the initial (2000-04) and last (2020-24) recommendation periods., in spite of the headwinds of OPEC+ production cuts.

Kuwait and Saudi Arabia clocked in an increase in non-hydrocarbon revenue, "mostly reflecting non-hydrocarbon tax base expansions and earnings collection performance enhancements", according to the IMF.
