Economic diversification policies are an important and essential part of the process of economic development and economic stability.The research stems from the hypothesis that economic diversification policies are the main means to achieve sustainable economic stability in rentier countries, including Iraq. There is a divergence in the effectiveness of each of these policies from one country to another.

In order to verify the hypothesis of the research, the research was divided into three chapters, the first chapter dealt with the theoretical framework of economic diversification, the second chapter analyzed the relationship between the indicators of economic diversification and economic stability in Norway and the UAE, while the third chapter analyzed the relationship between the indicators of economic diversification and economic stability. in Iraq. One of the most important conclusions reached by the research is that achieving economic stability in the rentier countries can not be achieved only by financial, monetary and trade policies, there must be structural reforms in the structure of the economy leading to structural changes that achieve a balance and diversity and more interdependence between economic sectors through policies of economic diversification and Other policies come as complementary and complementary.
