Summary

Heightened global uncertainty, geoeconomic fragmentation, and trade tensions have made deepening economic ties more important to boost growth and resilience. While economic ties between countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and the Caucasus and Central Asia (CCA) are still limited, deliberate policy actions could help expand and diversify trade and investment. This paper focuses on cross-cutting policies, which would benefit GCC-CCA bilateral economic ties and beyond.
