The Future of Oil and Fiscal Sustainability in the GCC Region
The oil market is undergoing fundamental change. New technologies are increasing the supply of oil from old and new sources, while rising concerns over the environment are seeing the world gradually moving away from oil. This spells a significant challenge for oil-exporting countries, including those of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) who account for a fifth of the world’s oil production. The GCC countries have recognized the need to reduce their reliance on oil and are all implementing reforms to diversify their economies as well as fiscal and external revenues. Nevertheless, as global oil demand is expected to peak in the next two decades, the associated fiscal imperative could be both larger and more urgent than implied by the GCC countries’ existing plans.

U.S. Monetary Policy Spillovers to GCC Countries: Do Oil Prices Matter?
This paper provides empirical evidence that the size of the spillovers from U.S. monetary policy to non-oil GDP growth in the GCC countries depends on the level of oil prices. The potential channels through which oil prices could affect the effectiveness of monetary policy are discussed. We find that the level of oil prices tends to dampen or amplify the growth impact of changes in U.S. monetary policy on the non-oil economies in the GCC.
The Economic Impact of Conflicts and the Refugee Crisis in the Middle East and North Africa
In recent decades, the Middle East and North Africa region (MENA) has experienced more frequent and severe conflicts than in any other region of the world, exacting a devastating human toll. The region now faces unprecedented challenges, including the emergence of violent non-state actors, significant destruction, and a refugee crisis bigger than any since World War II. This paper raises awareness of the economic costs of conflicts on the countries directly involved and on their neighbors. It argues that appropriate macroeconomic policies can help mitigate the impact of conflicts in the short term, and that fostering higher and more inclusive growth can help address some of the root causes of conflicts over the long term. The paper also highlights the crucial role of external partners, including the IMF, in helping MENA countries tackle these challenges.

Maar als je erover nadenkt…
Een goed gesprek doet wonderen, ook in het lees- en literatuuronderwijs. Door over boeken te praten leren kinderen hun gedachten te ordenen en over te brengen. Gezamenlijk komen ze steeds een stapje verder bij het ontcijferen en ontsluiten van een boek. Ieder kind ontdekt zo nieuwe betekenissen. In Maar als je erover nadenkt… doet Gertrud Cornelissen verslag van haar promotieonderzoek naar het effect van boekgesprekken op de ontwikkeling van literaire competentie bij kinderen in de groepen 7 en 8 van de basisschool. Gedurende een jaar namen leerlingen deel aan een speciaal ontwikkeld programma, en gingen zij met literatuur aan de slag. De leerlingen lazen verschillende boeken, noteerden th...
