8. I. GCC oil exporters
 A negative terms-of-trade shock associated with the
drop in oil prices;
 A financial shock, which destabilized overextended
domestic banks and led to the bursting of a real estate
bubble
 GCC states are dealing with the consequences of the
crisis in a number of strategic plans:
 Implement expansionary fiscal policy (Winckler,
2010):
 Steadily Increase Oil Production
Capacity(Winckler, 2010):.

9. II. Developing Oil Exporting Countries
 Developing oil exporting countries in the region are
Algeria, Iran, Syria, and Yemen (Global Economic
Prospects, June 2011).
 Hence, due to the limited integration of their banking
sectors into global financial markets, developing oil
exporters felt the impact of the crisis mostly through the
negative oil price shock(WORLD BANK MENA REGION –
A REGIONAL ECONOMIC UPDATE, APRIL 2010)..
Strategic plans:-
 Steadily Increase Oil Production (Winckler, 2010):

10. III. Oil Importing Countries
 The oil-importing MENA countries were hurt mostly by
the secondary effects of the crisis on trade, remittances,
and foreign direct investment (FDI)-Reinikka (2010).
 Key non-oil sectors such as services and tourism
remained relatively resilient, while the decline in oil and
other commodity prices limited the deterioration of their
external balances.
 Stimulus packages in the Arab Republic of Egypt,
Jordan, Morocco, and Tunisia also helped soften the
deceleration in growth.
 Strategic plans
 Diversification of policies

11.  Implementation of expansionary fiscal policy
 Strategy was successful and effective
I.) The portions of gross domestic product
revenue is increased the growth of GDP will
increase.
II.)Create new job opportunities for the national
workforce.
 In GCC countries they reduce the oil production
at first and then gradually increase the production
later when the crisis muted.

12. Cont....
 Oil-importing countries
 Apply diversification policies
 Working together recovery.

13. Different Middle East countries were impacted
differently by the crisis.
GCC countries intervened early to support their
banking systems and stock markets.
The World Bank doing help to the global financial
crisis impacted countries.
Generally, if this global financial crisis occurs in
future, we have to know what kind of the precaution
steps should be taken to avoid this crisis.
