Role of the State in the Economy in MENAIn most OECD countries the state plays a limited role in the economy outside the social sectorsIn MENA the state plays a major role (except Lebanon and possibly Tunisia and Morocco) and even in many countries where there is a large private sector this has developed as a result of state favors as ruling groups distribute favors among supporters.The state led economy brought many early positives to the region but inefficiency has made them a burden. Apart from efficiency the state has focused on large capital intensive operations rather than the job creating small and medium enterprise with resulting high unemployment.The challenges is reducing the role of the direct and indirect role of the state in the economy and let a more dynamic private sector develop and create jobs.
