D access to oil fields
The large difference in per capita GDP of countries in Southwest Asia and North Africa could be attributed to their access to oil fields. Countries with abundant oil reserves, such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar, have been able to leverage their natural resources to generate significant wealth and economic growth. On the other hand, countries without significant oil reserves may struggle to achieve comparable economic prosperity.
Why might there be such a large difference in the per capita GDP of these specific countries of Southwest Asia (the Middle East) and North Africa?
