once recognised for the abundance of oil reserves has now transformed into a pool of industries
that has been responsible for the rapid rates of development of the industries. Regardless of the

economic regulatory bodies in the country, the economy has been able to recover at a rapid rate.
Furthermore, it can be said that economy has been recognised for the contribution of crude oil in
the global market. The country has been recognised as the third highest exporter of crude oil in

backed up by the fact that there are no trade barriers help in attracting potential investors towards
the country. Moreover, the real estate costs and labour cost in the country are considered to be
competitive in nature.
Geographic Strength: The biggest competency of the country lies in the geographic position of
the country (Naizghi and Ouarda 2017). The country is located in an effective position in the
Middle East. Thus, this allows effective communication various industrial units located in the
surrounding areas. Europe, China and south East Asian countries can be effectively be reached
from the strategic location of the Middle East. Hence, companies who are investing in the
country can effectively reach and form supplier relations with the companies in the nearby
locations.
