Attracting institutional investors
to the region
By Henry T. Azzam
Whereas in the more developed stock markets institutional investors account for
85 percent of the value of shares traded, the figure is much smaller in our region.
Most of those trading the markets are retail private investors, going in with
relatively little information on what they are buying and with small amounts invested
hoping to make quick profits. It has become clear that without greater participation
of institutional investors, whether local or foreign, it will take our markets
much longer to gain the much needed depth, breath and sophistication.

American exports to Arab world expected to rise by a third in 2007
Propelled by the dollar's depreciation and high international
oil prices last year, US exports to the Arab world are expected to increase by
more than a third in 2007 to reach $45 billion, said a March report released by
the US-Arab Chamber of Commerce (NUCACC).
Excess liquidity from record energy prices in 2006 trickled down to most of the
MENA region, spurring development projects, boosting consumer spending, and increasing
demand for US-manufactured civilian aircraft and military and border security
systems, especially in oil-producing countries.
