The future of oil and fiscal sustainability in the GCC region, Paperback / softback Book

The future of oil and fiscal sustainability in the GCC region Paperback / softback

Part of the Departmental paper series

Paperback / softback

Description

The oil market is undergoing fundamental change. New technologies are increasing the supply of oil from old and new sources, while rising concerns over the environment are seeing the world gradually moving away from oil.
