The Service Sector in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Countries
According to macroeconomic sector theory, the economy is divided into three main sectors:
The first sector involves the extraction of raw materials and includes mining companies, logging companies, oil exploration firms, agricultural industries, and fishing activities.
The second sector is focused on goods production and sales, such as the automotive industry, furniture manufacturing, clothing trade, and similar activities.
The third sector, known as the “services sector,” is responsible for providing and producing services, primarily relying on intangible elements such as entertainment, healthcare, transportation, hospitality, and restaurants.
The theory suggests that as countries become more developed, their economies increasingly rely on the third sector, in contrast to less-developed countries that depend largely on the first sector. (For example, the services sector accounts for approximately 85% of the U.S. economy.)
