Weaker oil demand, declining prices to pose headwinds to GCC economic growth in 2023

In 2022, GCC economies are on track for the fastest economic growth in years and for budget surpluses, for some of them the first surpluses in a decade, economists pointed out. But growth is expected to slow down in 2023 due to the weaker oil demand, the Opec+ production cuts as of November, spiking food prices, and fears of a recession in major oil-importing countries. According to the International Monetary Fund, economic growth is projected at 5.2 per cent this year for the oil exporters in the Middle East and Central Asia, with high oil prices and robust non-oil GDP growth offsetting the global headwinds. A gradual slide in oil revenues due to falling prices and a surging US dollar, to which the GCC currencies are pegged, are also expected to weigh down on the region’s 2023 economic growth. Goldman Sachs has cut its 2023 oil price forecast due to expectations of weaker demand and a stronger dollar, but said the ongoing global supply disappointments only reinforced its long-term bullish outlook.
