The ongoing war in the Middle East has created significant turmoil in the Arab world, leading to both immediate and long-term economic challenges. According to a report by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the region's GDP is expected to decline by 3.7% to 6.0%, amounting to a contraction of approximately $120 billion to $194 billion. This decline is largely attributed to reduced investor confidence and heightened uncertainty. Additionally, trade flows are deteriorating, with both exports and imports witnessing a significant decline. The social implications are equally alarming; the conflict is estimated to have pushed four million people below the poverty line and resulted in job losses for 3.64 million individuals, reversing a year of human development progress. The vulnerability of these states is exacerbated by their historical conflicts and economic instability. For instance, countries such as Yemen and Sudan have per capita GDPs of $1.66k and $2.63k, respectively, far below the global average of $27.1k. Egypt, facing high energy prices and inflation, is particularly exposed to the war's economic fallout, struggling with a weak currency and limited economic buffers compared to Gulf states.
