The GCC countries experienced two significant shocks in 2020 namely the Covid-19 pandemic and disruptions in oil prices. The GCC region is also taking time to heal. Oil production cuts are weighing on output and new outbreaks have forced tighter lockdown measures in recent weeks, disrupting the recovery process. Higher budget spending would potentially result in faster expansion in GCC non-oil activity in 2021. It would also be consistent with medium-term policies, such as Saudi Vision 2030, geared towards increasing the share of non-oil revenue in regional budgets and lowering susceptibility of economic growth to fluctuations in the oil price.
