Trade flows represent the figures around exports and imports of goods and services, while capital flows are calculated based on FDI and portfolio flows. Information flows are proxied by the minutes of international calls and the scale of international collaboration on research. Finally, people flows are represented by statistics on migration, numbers of foreign students, and tourism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">On the bright side:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> The region climbed one spot in terms of size of flows relative to economic size, coming in third in the global index\u2019s depth measure. The region also retained a strong second place in trade and people flows, while capital and information flows continued to be relatively weak \u2014 coming in fourth in both categories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Hydrocarbon-rich GCC economies buoyed the region\u2019s ranking: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">High-performing GCC economies, which benefited from rising oil prices on the back of the war in Ukraine, played a strong role in global trade and capital flows, according to the report. Their reliance on foreign workers also meant that they scored high on the index\u2019s people flow measure.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">The UAE was the region\u2019s strongest performer<\/span><span>,<\/span><span>coming in sixth in the ranking of most connected countries worldwide in 2021,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">retaining its position from the last ranking in 2019. The country came in third in terms of depth of global connectedness. The oil-rich state also featured on the list of the top 10 most overperforming countries in terms of structural predictors \u2014 which include GDP, geographical location, and population size, among others \u2014 of global connectedness. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Contrary to predictions, covid didn\u2019t kill globalization: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">\u201cGlobalization has proven far more resilient than many expected through the covid-19 pandemic,\u201d the report says. There was also evidence that despite visible US-China decoupling, that trend has not yet resulted in the development of rival trading blocs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">The report also rebuts another common prediction \u2014 that globalization is giving way to regionalization<\/span><span>, <\/span><span>or<\/span><span>the rise of trade within regions instead of between them.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">There was no evidence of a shift from globalization to regionalization, or from long distance global flows to short distance intra-regional flows, in 2021, the report said. In fact, \u201ctrade flows stretched out over longer distances during the covid-19 pandemic,\u201d according to the report. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">MENA had the second-lowest intra-regional flows of any region.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> Flows within the region represented 24% of the region\u2019s total flows. Only South and Central Asia scored lower, with 17% of total flows taking place within the region. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">This could change soon: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Steps towards the normalization of ties between Israel and countries in the region could open new avenues for intra-regional exchange, the report notes, name-checking the UAE-Israel 2022 trade agreement. Israel is also developing diplomatic and economic ties with Egypt, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Who was MENA\u2019s biggest trade partner? <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">India was the region\u2019s largest partner, partaking in 9% of the region\u2019s total flows. South Asia as a whole receives substantial commodity exports from the GCC and contributes foreign workers to the region. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">The region still needs to tap the potential it has in trade with the EU:<\/span><span> France is currently MENA\u2019s largest partner in Europe, the report said.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">MENA countries on the Mediterranean basin have excellent potential for trade and exchange with Europe \u2014 a much larger market than South Asia \u2014 but these are largely untapped, it added. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Lebanon\u2019s global ranking shot up five places, but for all the wrong reasons. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Paradoxically, the rapid rise occurred on the back of a collapse in the domestic economy. A series of shocks and bad policy decisions led to the country\u2019s GDP at market exchange to fall to about a third of its pre-crisis level, the report explains. While this meant that the economy was doing considerably worse, it also meant that the relative contribution of trade and capital flows to the economy were much higher than before as those activities were tied to foreign actors and accordingly less affected by a collapse in the domestic economy than other sectors. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">The report reached a two-fold conclusion from the current situation in Lebanon:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> Despite indicating that the globalization index may at times suggest overperformance, the play out of events in Lebanon also highlights the importance of global connectedness as a factor of stability that could help economies weather domestic crises.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Not doing great in the rankings: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Egypt saw significant falls in the latest ranking, tumbling seven places overall and 15 places in trade flows. Meanwhile, Algeria and Iraq were among the list of 10 worst-performing economies in terms of structural factors. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Iran ranked as the world\u2019s worst-performing economy based on structural factors<\/span><span>, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">despite recent gains in breadth and information flows. This means that Iran\u2019s connectedness is far lower than what would be expected given the country\u2019s income level, geographical location, population size, and other structural factors \u2014 all of which suggest that Iran\u2019s economy should be much better connected globally. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">SOUND SMART- <\/span><span>Despite being well positioned economically and geographically to partake heavily in global exchanges, a sanctions regime imposed on the country by the US and the EU has effectively isolated the country from the global economy.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Intra-regional flows in MENA are a small portion of overall
