Our Middle East & North Africa Chart Pack has been updated with the latest data and our analysis of recent developments.
We expect the Middle East and North Africa to record its fastest rate of GDP growth outside of the post-pandemic recovery in well over a decade over the course of 2026-27. The Gulf states will be bolstered by rising oil output, although low oil prices mean that fiscal policy will be less supportive for non-oil activities. Meanwhile, Egypt and Morocco are likely to be bright spots in the rest of the region as improved competitiveness boosts export demand. The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas should also ease the negative spillovers on many neighbouring countries.
