Low oil prices, which are expected to be in the $50-60 a barrel range through the end of the decade, have dampened growth among the region's oil exporters, especially the Gulf countries, which are forecast to grow at only 1.6 percent in 2016. Regional growth is expected to improve slightly to 3.1 and 3.5 percent over the next two years, as governments across the region continue to undertake reforms and diversify their economies away from oil.
