Public-sector investment and reform stay main to sustaining this pattern. Policy measures targeted at drawing in foreign direct investment, easing foreign ownership rules, expanding capital markets, and supporting private-sector participation continue to underpin non-oil growth and lower the area's exposure to oil rate volatility. While hydrocarbons no longer control the development outlook, oil earnings are expected to play a helpful role in 2026.
