Dimensions | Gulf Common Market: from integration to necessity
The article emphasizes that the Gulf Common Market has become an essential strategic necessity imposed by global and regional challenges. Recent crises, such as the Strait of Hormuz crisis and its impact on energy supplies and logistical costs, have highlighted the urgent need to strengthen economic integration among Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Although progress has been made in areas such as intra-regional trade, financial markets, and banking, the market has not yet reached the level of an effective unified market, and gaps remain in digital infrastructure and transportation. The Gulf Common Market is considered an inevitable necessity to enhance bargaining power and manage external shocks more effectively, especially for Bahrain, which depends on regional economic integration to diversify its economy.
