Service sector in GCC countries

According to the macroeconomic theory of sectors, the economy is divided into three main and large sectors: the first; – is the sector that is based on collecting raw materials and includes mining companies, timber companies, oil exploration companies, in addition to agricultural and fishing industries. The second sector; is the sector that depends on goods and their sale, such as: (car manufacturing, furniture, clothing trade… etc.). As for the third sector, known as the “services” sector; it is the sector responsible for providing and producing services, essentially relying on intangible things, such as: entertainment, health care, transportation, hospitality, restaurants, etc. This theory believes that the more advanced countries are, the more their economies are based on the third sector, unlike primitive countries, which rely mostly on the first sector (the United States of America, for example, the service sector constitutes 85% of its economy).
