Public-sector financial investment and reform remain main to sustaining this trend. Policy steps intended at attracting foreign direct investment, easing foreign ownership rules, expanding capital markets, and supporting private-sector participation continue to underpin non-oil growth and minimize the area's exposure to oil price volatility.
