Arab investments outside of the Arab house is $ 1000 billion
Regional, Economics, 11/5/2001

The secretary general of the Arab economic unity Ahmad Jweili has estimated the volume of Arab investments out of the Arab homeland between USD 800- 1,000 billion, calling on re-arranging the Arab house and put these sums in investments inside the Arab states.

In press statements he made in Amman on Sunday Jweili stressed that should these Arab sums be invested in the Arab states it would have enabled the Arab homeland to be among the developing countries.

He stressed the work to convince Arab investors abroad to invest in the Arab states. He indicated that the attacks at the US on September 11 proved great risks in investment outside the Arab states, which means that investment in the Arab states is less risky.
