The chapter examines the domestic and international drivers and obstacles for the transformation in the MENA region. It outlines the major domestic sociopolitical and economic features that could both incentivize and discourage the energy transformation in the region. These are the pervasive role of oil rents, high energy subsidies, high dependence on cheap imported labour force and low role of private sector. The transformation is also pushed by rising international climate pressure but also the need to adapt and mitigate the existing negative consequences of climate change in the region, which are expected to exacerbate the regional fragile environment (e.g. rising temperatures and sea levels as well as water stress and scarcity).

We examine the role of spatial spillovers in economic growth for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. We explicitly model spatial interactions that may arise from geography, bilateral trade, or institutional similarities, and ask how much they are likely to matter for growth externalities and spillover effects. We find that the economic growth of a MENA country is positively affected by the economic growth of countries that are geographically close and that have similar institutional characteristics. The spillover effects of growth are due to economic activities in countries that trade primarily in oil, which accounts for the gap in spillover effects due to institutional similarity between resource‐rich and resource‐poor countries in the MENA region. However, trade linkages matter less. Where they do have an effect, it is through the local range effects of a spatially lagged explanatory variable capturing the effects of the trade balance on growth.
