The emergence of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) has sparked significant debates extending beyond the technical and economic realms, raising critical questions about their potential impact on the broader political economy landscape. It is crucial to examine the political and geopolitical implications of this shift. This study explores the political economy considerations surrounding CBDCs, unravelling the intricate interplay between econo…

Navigating the Energy Transition in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) States
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states have relied on their abundant oil and gas resources, which have shaped their economic and social structures. The comparative advantage of the oil/gas sectors encouraged the development of those sectors, but other sectors (actual or potential) suffered from comparative disadvantage and shrank or did not develop. The potential of industrial strategy in driving the energy transition and promoting sustainable…
The Foreign Direct Investment and Trade Connection Between China and the Gulf Cooperation Council Countries
The growing investment and trade volume between China and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries has emerged as a significant development in international economic relations. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of China’s neo-mercantilism model using foreign direct investment (FDI) strategy in the GCC region and its impact on bilateral trade through a political-economy lens. This framework is particularly evident in initiatives suc…
Independence’ of Central Banks and the Political Economy of Monetary Policy
The notion of an ‘independent’ central bank has dominated monetary policy debates for the past three decades. The arguments for the political independence of central banks are closely related to the adoption of ‘inflation targeting’. The arguments for an independent central bank are based on the ‘credibility’ of the ‘conservative’ central bank in comparison to government decision making. The independence of a central bank has been a matter of ind…
Financialisation in the Gulf States

The key economic features of the GCC countries relevant for financialisation are outlined. The dimensions of financialisation are drawn to allow investigation of financial developments in the GCC countries. The evolving structures of financial institutions in GCC countries are indicated and compared with their evolution in …
Does Securitisation Make Monetary Policy Less Effective
We re-examine the role of monetary policy and its transmission mechanism through the credit channel while focusing on securitisation. We empirically investigate the interactions between securitisation activities and monetary policy using data from 1995 to 2015 for a panel of 10 European countries. We employ a panel VAR model, and estimate it using a GMM system. Our findings indicate that a contractionary monetary policy shock immediately increase…
