Middle East and North Africa: key economic issues in 2014 - @Baptist_Simon

Middle East and North Africa: key economic issues in 2014:

"Since the onset of the Arab Spring in 2011 the Middle East and North Africa has in effect been a tale of the "haves" and "have nots". The countries most affected by unrest, and in some cases war, have seen their economies stagnate. The more stable countries—which, not coincidentally, have also typically been oil-rich—have boomed on the back of fiscal stimulus and high oil prices. Yet 2014 should see the start of an unwinding of this trend, as the oil-rich "haves" take their foot off the fiscal pedal and the "have nots" begin to benefit from the upturn in the euro zone."
