What Is the Resource Curse?
The resource curse describes an economic paradox where countries that are rich in non-renewable resources like oil face stagnation or decline in growth. Investment focused solely in resource-intensive sectors can weaken a nation's economy when coupled with potential government mismanagement. Angola and Saudi Arabia are key examples.
This situation underscores the need for economic diversification to mitigate reliance on volatile commodity prices.
