Arabs should welcome a future with less oil wealth

Consumption

A new report from the International Monetary Fund warns that, by 2034, declining oil demand could gnaw away the $2 trillion in financial wealth amassed by the members of the Gulf Cooperation Council. Unless they act quickly to reform their hydrocarbon-dependent economies, these countries, which collectively account for a fifth of the world’s crude production, will become net debtors.

Inevitably, the report has led to predictions that the evaporation of Arab oil wealth will bode ill for economic development and political stability in an already troubled region. Beyond the GCC, low oil prices would hamper the progress of populous, but still under-developed, oil-rich Arab countries—Iraq and Algeria—that must reorganize their economies and societies toward productive sectors without the cushion of wealth salted away during the boom years.

But declining oil prices and the dwindling of cash reserves are not necessarily bad news for the political economy of the Arab region as a whole.

To start with, the overwhelming majority of the Arab people do not live in oil-rich countries. The most populous Arab countries are for the most part oil-poor. Many are net energy importers, with relatively diversified economic structures and external sectors. These include Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Jordan, Lebanon and war-torn Syria. For these countries, lower oil prices would lower the costs of their production and improve their balance-of-payments positions.

The decline in oil wealth would reinforce the incentives to diversify away from GCC-dependency by countries like Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon, which have long relied on recycled oil rents—through workers’ remittances, aid and credit from the oil-rich member states. Lower oil prices may actually improve the longer-term prospects of redefining the position of the most populous Arab countries in the global division of labor.

Countries like Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia and Jordan already possess diversified export structures, with non-oil goods constituting the bulk of what they export. They have also developed strong trade, investment and tourism connections with powerful partners in the European Union and the U.S. For Morocco and Tunisia, lower oil prices would boost their position as energy importers and as exporters of manufactured goods.

Conversely, the outlook for Egypt is significantly tougher given its dense ties with the GCC. But, the overall share of oil-related rents in the country’s GDP, including remittances and foreign aid (predominantly from the GCC), has been constantly declining since the 1990s.

There is near consensus in the literature on the Arab world that oil wealth has been associated with less democracy and more conflict and repression. This does not mean that all conflict can be traced back to oil wealth, but it has played a central role in deepening and prolonging hostilities. Hydrocarbon wealth since the oil shock of 1973 has been associated with higher intensity of conflict around the Persian Gulf, with ramifications for the wider Arab world. Three Gulf wars and the ongoing tensions between Iran and an alliance of the U.S. and several Arab countries attest to this fact. Beyond the Gulf region, oil rents have often been often used to fuel arms races and civil conflict through the sponsorship of local militias along ethno-sectarian lines. Hence, lower oil prices in the long term may weaken the financial resource-base for fueling conflict in MENA, whether directly or by proxy.

Since 2011, oil riches have been used instrumentally to shape the outcomes of post-Arab Spring political processes across the region. Oil-rich governments have supported non-democratic forces, be they Islamist or non-Islamist, Sunni or Shia, creating prolonged and internationalized civil conflicts. In Syria, for instance, Iran threw its weight behind the regime of Bashar al-Assad. Elsewhere, the GCC monarchies used their money power against people-power movements by backing autocrats. It may not be a coincidence that the only success story of a post-Arab Spring transition to democracy is Tunisia, which is not only oil-poor but also too small to draw much attention from oil-rich states.

Less access to easy money could curb ongoing conflicts, or at least make them less intense. It’s worth remembering that the end of the Iraq-Iran war in the 1980s was hastened by the oil glut of 1986 and the subsequent decline in revenues for the two belligerents and their regional sponsors.

Civil conflicts are more complicated than international ones, and will likely linger even with declining oil rents, as they have done since 2014 in Syria, Libya and Yemen. Still, the availability of fewer resources may hasten the conclusion of these conflicts—or at least limit their scope and intensity.

For much of the Arab world, and especially in the counties where hydrocarbon revenues have long represented a curse, the decline in oil wealth described in the IMF report might yet be a blessing in disguise.Bloomberg

    In fact by inviting our North-American brothers to become European again, I prove that my pro-Anglo benevolence knows no bounds, where a good spanking would be more suited, considering the disastrous Anglo actions in the 20th century against global white interests, which includes Anglo-white interests.

    Way What? Like the kids say. You are upset you got your ass kicked last century and now all you do is try to even out with hate and resentment combined with fantasy and lies.

    “Admit it, you fucked up big time and you force Greater Europeans to clean up the (((mess))). We will.”

    AH, cloggo, humans fucked up and that is mostly following European way of life to its end point of subjugating nature and other cultures for more and more affluence. That is our legacy as Eurotards, cloggo. Now, from an individual point of view nobody is really guilty. All of us did not ask to be born into this but at this point we can get honest and make arrangements for a really painful future of consequences. Then there are fools like you pasting techno fantasy and political puke that ensures there will be conflict.

    “Now go lay under you bed and learn by heart how “hands up!” sounds in German, French and Russian.”

    Cloggo, lay in bed and pretend all the things I told you would happen don’t. Reality is finally hit you in the head with a 2×4. Makato1 and juanPee likewise. Look at makato denying his AsiaUp is going down. juanPee is a lunatic doesn’t know or care what is happening he just wants to troll. Idaho I a blind lying liberal preaching hate and lies.

The group has also taken a 1.2 billion euro ($1.3 billion) charge on the worsening sales outlook, with a German ban on defense exports to Saudi Arabia causing Airbus Defense and Space to lose a promising potential customer, Dirk Hoke said. Airbus Defense and Space, formed in 2014 as part of a broader restructuring, employs 34,000 staff – 13,000 of them in Germany – and contributes around a fifth of revenues to parent group Airbus.”

    D.davy, you are a little bit retarded after so many years of mindless ID theft. Your mindless JuanP, mak, Richard, Anon etc etc etc ID thefts are obviously not REAL comments, and could be a little more creative and believable. LOL. Yet, being a low IQ high school drop out it is to be expected. You are obviously not the sharpest tool in the tool box. Double LOL.

    We don’t need to be so depressed REAL Green. The virus isn’t a pandemic yet. The shack didn’t collapse and we still have our goats to talk with. We need to lurn how to be happy with what we got and not be so jealous of what other people have or how much smarter they are.
