The report "Greater concentration and relative erosion of wealth in the Arab region: the legacy of COVID-19?" by the Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on wealth distribution in the Arab region. The report finds that the pandemic has led to greater concentration of wealth among a smaller number of individuals, while the wealth of the majority has eroded. The report also highlights the need for policies that promote inclusive growth and reduce inequality in the region.
