Gulf Roundtable: Food, Finance, and Energy in the Gulf
Food, finance, and energy policies and security form a unique nexus in the Gulf countries, and how they interact will be central to the Gulf’s future prosperity, according to Eckart Woertz. Woertz is a senior research fellow at the Barcelona Centre for International Affairs (CIDOB), and he spoke at a Gulf Roundtable entitled “Food, Finance, and Energy in the Gulf” at CSIS on May 6, 2014. He argued that Gulf governments must address politically sensitive and difficult issues such as subsidies, economic diversification, energy consumption habits, and managing food import dependence in order to forge more sustainable futures.
