Abstract

Korean Abstract: 사우디아라비아, UAE 등 GCC(Gulf Cooperation Council)를 구성하는 6개국은 지난 1970년대부터 국가 인프라 건설 및 새로운 성장산업 육성을 위해 경제다각화(economic diversification) 정책을 추진해왔다. 이는 석유 및 가스 자원에 대한 과도한 의존도가 거시경제의 안정성 및 경제성장의 지속가능성을 저해한다고 판단했기 때문이다. GCC 국가들은 이러한 경제다각화 정책의 일환으로 공항, 항만, 철도 등 물류 기반시설을 확충하고 있다. 이와 함께 물류 기반시설과 연계된 자유무역지대 또는 산업단지 등과 같은 배후단지 조성이 활발해지고 있다. 배후단지에서는 물류의 기본적인 기능인 하역, 보관, 포장, 운송 등 이외에 가공, 조립 등의 공정을 거쳐 더 많은 부가가치를 창출하고 있다. 이를 기반으로 해외자본 및 다국적 기업의 유치도 늘어나고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같이 물류 기반시설 및 배후단지 건설을 기반으로 관련 산업 및 기업을 육성하고 해외자본 및 기업을 유치하는 경제다각화 정책을 ‘물류허브(logistics hub) 구축전략’으로 명명하고, 이에 대응한 우리나라의 대중동 산업 및 물류협력 고도화 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 또한 사우디아라비아와 UAE를 중심으로 물류허브 구축전략의 내용과 국내외 기업의 진출 사례를 분석하고 동 지역에 진출하려는 국내 기업과 이를 지원하는 정부에 줄 수 있는 시사점을 도출하고자 한다. English Abstract: The aim of the research is to review strategic policies toward logistics hub of the GCC countries including infrastructure and hinterland development and to suggest government policies to upgrade industrial and logistics cooperation between Korea and GCC countries. In particular, logistics hub policies promoted in Saudi Arabia and UAE are analysed as case studies to draw some implications for the government policies. To summarize research outcomes produced in each chapter, chapter 2 examined government policies for economic diversification and their background and economic role of logistics hub. The oil and gas sector in the GCC countries occupied about 40% of GDP with the manufacturing sector about 10%, which shows that GCC economies relied highly on the oil and gas sector. Economic diversification policies are designed to reduce the degree of dependency on the hydrocarbon sector. In other words, they are implemented to expand production and exports of non-hydrocarbon sectors for sustainable economic growth and stable employment with high-level income. It should be noted that logistics hub with infrastructure and industrial base should be understood as a base for economic diversification. Chapters 3 and 4 examined logistics promotion policies of Saudi Arabia and UAE. Logistics competitiveness of Saudi Arabia is in the average range of GCC countries with inefficient logistics procedures and trade regulations. Chapter 5 suggested government policies to upgrade industrial and logistics cooperation between Korea and the GCC countries.
