D access to oil fields
The presence of oil fields in some countries in Southwest Asia and North Africa greatly contributes to their economic wealth and per capita GDP. These countries are able to generate significant revenue from exports of oil, which boosts their overall economic output and standard of living. In contrast, countries without access to significant oil reserves may struggle to generate the same level of wealth and economic growth.
