correct course of action/s to be followed from the problem statement.

Both Russia and the United States are major spacefarers. America’s allies in Europe and Asia are also key sources of

technologies that support the use of space. Even Ukraine has a significant aerospace industry. The risk to space

cooperation could come in three ways. The first is through sanctions on Russia due to the Ukraine-Russia conflict.

The second is through physical destruction or control of aerospace facilities in Ukraine. The third is potential

attempts by either side to disrupt the other’s use of space for military purposes. As India navigates a treacherous

diplomatic landscape, it will need to keep an eye on how much of these risks could affect its interests.

Course of actions:

I. India should offer to launch satellites left stranded by sanctions on Russia.

Read the following passage and answer the questions based on it.

The Middle East, a region at the crossroads of continents and civilizations, boasts a diverse tapestry of cultures,

histories, and economies. Among the array of nations nestled within this region, each possesses its unique blend of

resources, industries, and economic challenges. Understanding the economy of a Middle Eastern country requires

navigating through layers of complexity shaped by geopolitical factors, cultural nuances, and global economic

trends.

At the heart of many Middle Eastern economies lies the abundance of natural resources, particularly oil and gas.

Countries like Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Qatar possess vast reserves of hydrocarbons,

making them pivotal players in the global energy landscape. The revenue generated from oil exports fuels

economic growth, funds ambitious development projects, and sustains generous welfare systems in these nations.

However, heavy reliance on oil revenues renders these economies vulnerable to fluctuations in global oil prices,

necessitating diversification efforts to mitigate risks and foster long-term sustainability.

Diversification strategies vary across Middle Eastern countries, reflecting their unique economic landscapes and

development priorities. While some nations have successfully diversified their economies beyond oil and gas,

leveraging sectors such as finance, tourism, and technology, others face significant challenges in reducing

dependence on hydrocarbons. Countries like Iraq and Iran grapple with political instability, sanctions, and internal

conflicts, hindering their efforts to diversify and modernize their economies.

Moreover, the demographic dynamics in the Middle East pose both opportunities and challenges for economic

development. With a youthful population and a burgeoning labor force, countries in the region possess a

demographic dividend—a potential source of economic growth if harnessed effectively through education,

employment, and entrepreneurship. However, high youth unemployment rates, particularly among university

graduates, underscore the urgent need for job creation and skills development initiatives to unlock the region's
SBI PO Mains 2023 Previous Year Paper

economic potential and address socio-economic disparities.

In addition to internal dynamics, Middle Eastern economies are intricately intertwined with global markets and

geopolitical realities. The region's strategic location as a crossroads of trade routes and its geopolitical significance

fuel regional rivalries, conflicts, and alliances that impact economic stability and growth. Geopolitical tensions, such

as those between Iran and its Gulf neighbors or the ongoing conflict in Yemen, disrupt trade, investment, and

confidence, posing challenges to economic development and regional integration efforts.

Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated existing economic vulnerabilities and introduced new

uncertainties for Middle Eastern countries. The pandemic-induced economic slowdown, coupled with sharp

declines in oil prices, strained public finances, exacerbated unemployment, and widened socio-economic

inequalities. Governments in the region responded with a mix of fiscal stimulus measures, monetary policy

interventions, and structural reforms to mitigate the impact of the crisis and lay the groundwork for recovery.

Looking ahead, Middle Eastern countries face a myriad of economic challenges and opportunities on their path to

sustainable development. Achieving economic diversification, enhancing human capital, fostering innovation, and

promoting inclusive growth will be critical priorities for policymakers. Moreover, strengthening regional

cooperation, resolving conflicts through diplomacy, and embracing economic reforms are essential for unlocking

the region's full economic potential and improving the livelihoods of its diverse populations.

In conclusion, the economy of a Middle Eastern country is a multifaceted mosaic shaped by historical legacies,

natural resource endowments, demographic dynamics, geopolitical realities, and global economic forces.

Navigating through these complexities requires visionary leadership, strategic planning, and concerted efforts to

harness the region's rich potential and overcome its formidable challenges in pursuit of a prosperous and inclusive

future.

Question No. 141

What is the central focus of the passage on the economy of Middle Eastern countries?

Options :

1. Political dynamics in the Middle East

2. Cultural diversity in the region

3. Socio-economic challenges and opportunities

4. Historical architecture of Middle Eastern cities

5. Environmental sustainability initiatives in the region

Answer : Socio-economic challenges and opportunities

Direction:
Read the following passage and answer the questions based on it.

The Middle East, a region at the crossroads of continents and civilizations, boasts a diverse tapestry of cultures,

histories, and economies. Among the array of nations nestled within this region, each possesses its unique blend of

resources, industries, and economic challenges. Understanding the economy of a Middle Eastern country requires

navigating through layers of complexity shaped by geopolitical factors, cultural nuances, and global economic

trends.

At the heart of many Middle Eastern economies lies the abundance of natural resources, particularly oil and gas.

Countries like Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Qatar possess vast reserves of hydrocarbons,

making them pivotal players in the global energy landscape. The revenue generated from oil exports fuels

economic growth, funds ambitious development projects, and sustains generous welfare systems in these nations.

However, heavy reliance on oil revenues renders these economies vulnerable to fluctuations in global oil prices,

necessitating diversification efforts to mitigate risks and foster long-term sustainability.


SBI PO Mains 2023 Previous Year Paper

Diversification strategies vary across Middle Eastern countries, reflecting their unique economic landscapes and

development priorities. While some nations have successfully diversified their economies beyond oil and gas,

leveraging sectors such as finance, tourism, and technology, others face significant challenges in reducing

dependence on hydrocarbons. Countries like Iraq and Iran grapple with political instability, sanctions, and internal

conflicts, hindering their efforts to diversify and modernize their economies.

Moreover, the demographic dynamics in the Middle East pose both opportunities and challenges for economic

development. With a youthful population and a burgeoning labor force, countries in the region possess a

demographic dividend—a potential source of economic growth if harnessed effectively through education,

employment, and entrepreneurship. However, high youth unemployment rates, particularly among university

graduates, underscore the urgent need for job creation and skills development initiatives to unlock the region's

economic potential and address socio-economic disparities.

In addition to internal dynamics, Middle Eastern economies are intricately intertwined with global markets and

geopolitical realities. The region's strategic location as a crossroads of trade routes and its geopolitical significance

fuel regional rivalries, conflicts, and alliances that impact economic stability and growth. Geopolitical tensions, such

as those between Iran and its Gulf neighbors or the ongoing conflict in Yemen, disrupt trade, investment, and

confidence, posing challenges to economic development and regional integration efforts.

Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated existing economic vulnerabilities and introduced new

Fashion, a dynamic expression of individuality and culture, is in a perpetual state of flux, constantly evolving with

the shifting tides of society, technology, and creativity. The change in fashion trends reflects the ever-changing

tastes, preferences, and lifestyles of people across different epochs and regions, serving as a mirror to the zeitgeist

of each era.

Throughout history, fashion trends have undergone transformative shifts, influenced by a myriad of factors such as

social norms, economic conditions, technological advancements, and cultural movements. From the elaborate

garments of ancient civilizations to the avant-garde designs of modern haute couture, the evolution of fashion

trends is a testament to humanity's quest for self-expression and innovation.

One of the most notable drivers of change in fashion trends is the phenomenon of cultural globalization, which has

facilitated the cross-pollination of styles, aesthetics, and traditions from diverse cultures around the world. As

borders become increasingly porous and communication technologies enable instant connectivity, fashion

designers and enthusiasts draw inspiration from a rich tapestry of global influences, resulting in eclectic and

hybridized fashion trends that transcend geographical boundaries.

Moreover, the democratization of fashion, propelled by the rise of social media and digital platforms, has

empowered individuals to participate actively in shaping and disseminating fashion trends. Influencers, bloggers,

and fashion enthusiasts leverage online platforms to showcase their personal style, challenge traditional norms, and

catalyze new trends, democratizing the fashion landscape and fostering a culture of inclusivity and diversity.

In recent years, sustainability has emerged as a defining paradigm in the fashion industry, driving aseismic shift

towards more ethical and eco-conscious practices. As consumers become increasingly aware of the environmental

and social impacts of fast fashion, there is a growing demand for transparent supply chains, ethical labor practices,

and environmentally friendly materials. This shift towards sustainable fashion has catalyzed a renaissance of

artisanal craftsmanship, vintage clothing, and slow fashion movements, challenging the hegemony of disposable

consumerism and fostering a more mindful approach to consumption.


SBI PO Mains 2023 Previous Year Paper

Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated certain trends in the fashion industry, reshaping consumer

behavior and preferences in profound ways. With lockdowns and social distancing measures necessitating remote

work and virtual interactions, there has been a surge in demand for comfortable and versatile clothing that

seamlessly transitions between home and office settings. The pandemic has also underscored the importance of

digital innovation and e-commerce in driving sales and engaging consumers in an increasingly digitized world.

As we navigate the complexities of a rapidly changing world, the evolution of fashion trends serves as a barometer

of societal values, aspirations, and aspirations. While fashion trends may come and go, the enduring allure of self-
