Among the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, the highest number of tests taken related to COVID-19 in June 2020 was in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) at about 2.5 million tests. The negative supply and demand shocks caused by the pandemic and the drop in oil prices decreased the fiscal revenues of the region and weakened their external balances.
