The economic landscape of the Middle East reveals its persistent strength. Some countries are surprisingly growing well, even with all the problems in the region. Just look at the current ranking of nominal GDP:

🇹🇷 Turkey – $1.44 trillion
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia – $1.08 trillion
🇮🇱 Israel – $583 billion
🇦🇪 United Arab Emirates – $549 billion
🇪🇬 Egypt – $347 billion
🇮🇷 Iran – $341 billion
🇮🇶 Iraq – $258 billion
🇶🇦 Qatar – $223 billion
🇰🇼 Kuwait – $153 billion
🇴🇲 Oman – $104 billion

Recent data indicates modest growth. 1.9% in 2024. It seems that 2025-2026 will improve, but not as much as previously thought. 🚀

The UAE is pretty amazing in economic diversification. They attract investments like no one else. They ranked #2 in the world for announced greenfield projects in 2024. That giant investment of US$35 billion in Ras El Hekma, Egypt? It shows the potential of the region. Impressive. 💹

Oil prices have fallen. Geopolitical tensions are not helping much. OPEC+ will increase production in 2025. It is not entirely clear how this will affect everything. The private sector seems to be the big bet now. Jobs. Innovation. Growth. That's the way to go. 🌐

💡 Nominal GDP? It's basically all economic production at current market prices. Without adjustments for inflation. You can see who's who in the global economy.
