Slide 1, MENA Region map labeled with major countries
The MENA Region map is the country political division of 20 countries including in this region, namely, Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. What is more, every individual political subdivision is an editable shape.
Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia stands as the largest economy within the MENA region, boasting a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of $833 billion in 2021. Dominated by petroleum and natural gas industries, which provide about 90% of the country’s export earnings, Saudi Arabia holds the world’s second-largest proven oil reserves. Despite its heavy reliance on oil, the kingdom is making strides to diversify its economy, with significant investments in technology and tourism sectors. This diversification is part of a broader vision to reduce its dependency on oil exports and stimulate economic growth in other areas.
Iran
Iran, with its economy ranked as the fifth-largest in the MENA region, is another country heavily reliant on petroleum exports. Despite possessing a more diversified economy compared to other oil exporters in the Middle East, Iran faces considerable challenges due to international economic sanctions. These sanctions, imposed due to concerns over its nuclear program and other issues, have significantly weakened Iran’s currency and restricted its international trade, hampering economic prosperity.
Egypt
Egypt represents the largest economy in North Africa with a GDP of $365 billion in 2020. Its strategic location, serving as a bridge between Africa and the Middle East, contributes significantly to its economic and geopolitical importance. Egypt’s economy is diverse, with sectors including agriculture, manufacturing, and services, in addition to a growing emphasis on tourism, which benefits from its rich historical and cultural heritage.
Libya
Libya, another significant country within the MENA region, has an economy primarily driven by oil production, which accounts for the majority of its revenue and export earnings. However, political instability and conflicts have severely impacted its economic stability and growth. The country possesses the largest oil reserves in Africa, highlighting its potential for economic recovery and prosperity if it can achieve and maintain political stability.

Its economy, one of the largest and most complex in the region, is characterized by a mix of modern industry and commerce along with a traditional agriculture sector. Turkey’s strategic position has made it a central hub for trade and cultural exchange between the MENA region and the broader world. Despite facing economic challenges, including inflation and dependency on foreign investment, Turkey continues to play a crucial role in regional geopolitics and economics.
