The presence of abundant oil reserves in certain countries in Southwest Asia (the Middle East) can significantly boost their per capita GDP, as they have a lucrative source of revenue from oil exports. On the other hand, countries without access to such valuable resources may struggle to achieve the same level of economic prosperity, resulting in a large difference in per capita GDP among these countries.
