Economy of the Arab League

The Arab World is rich in resources, with enormous oil and natural gas reserves. The economic development in the Arab League Countries exhibits a great diversity. There is a significant difference between, on the one hand, the rich oil states of the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia, and on the other hand, the poor countries like the Comoros, Mauritania and Bangladesh. For instance, the GDP per capita of the wealthiest Arab country, Qatar at purchasing power parity, is 69% times higher than that of Chad, Djibouti, Somalis` and Pakistan`.
