| JPost.com - The Jerusalem Post - | MIDDLE EAST NATURAL RESOURCES REVEAL A HIDDEN MAP OF ABUNDANCE AND SCARCITY | just now |
According to JPost.com – The Jerusalem Post, a new analysis shows that in the Middle East, nations with a smaller natural resource base are increasingly turning to non‑oil sectors such as finance, logistics and tourism, redefining the region’s economic map. The article notes that this pivot is a direct response to uneven resource distribution.
The JPost description explains that the limited resource base has pushed ‘both countries’ to lean harder into these sectors. While the piece does not provide figures or direct quotes, it signals a strategic shift in the economies of the involved states and underscores diversification as key for future growth.
Diversifying away from oil has become a priority for Middle Eastern states, mirroring a global trend where resource‑poor economies expand into new industries. This shift is especially relevant amid geopolitical tensions that threaten energy routes.
