Introduction
This book represents the twelfth edition of the
leading reference work MAJOR COMPANIES OF
THE ARAB WORLD.
This volume has been completely updated
compared to last year's edition. Many new
companies have also been included.
The publishers remain confident that MAJOR
COMPANIES OF THE ARAB WORLD contains more
information on the major industrial and commercial
companies than any other work. The information in
the book was submitted mostly by the companies
themselves, completely free of charge. To all those
companies, which assisted us in our research
operation, we express grateful thanks. To all those
individuals who gave us help as well, we are similarly
very grateful.
Definition of a major company
The criteria we have applied for the selection of
companies of major status for inclusion in this book
are a mixture of the following:
1 The company must have a significant sales turnover
and/or issued capital, relative to other Arab
companies.
2 The company must have a strong position in its
national or international markets.
3 The company must have shareholders and/ or
directors who are persons of prominence in the
business life of their country.
4 The company should be making a notable
contribution to the economic growth of its country
or region.
5 The company may be a significant branch of a
major international corporation. Foreign bank
branches and representatives offices have also
been included.
6 The company may be recently established but
nonetheless have sufficient capital, sufficiently
prominent shareholders, and be aiming to serve a
sufficiently growth-oriented market, to have
significant expansion prospects.
7 Certain companies have been included which,
although they may not be very large, are
nonetheless important to firms wishing to import
and export. Shipping agents are an example.
IMPORTANT
All company entries have been entered in MAJOR
COMPANIES OF THE ARAB WORLD absolutely free
of charge, thus ensuring a totally objective approach
to the information given.
Whilst the publishers have made every effort to
ensure that the information in this book was correct
at the time of going to press, no responsibility or
liability can be accepted for any errors or omissions,
or for the consequences thereof.

 GULF TRADE
AND FINANCE
1i'ends and Market
Prospects
Rodney Wilson
Senior Lecturer in the Economics
of the Middle East at the
University of Durham

There is much uncertainty about the outlook for the Arabian Gulf, yet despite the oil price-induced
recession, the area remains an important market for European, American and]apanese exporters. Gulf
Trade and Finance is designed as a reference volume for the businessman and banker involved in the
region. This new work, by a noted British economist who has specialised in the Mideast economies for a
number of years, analyses the current economic situation in the region and produces valuable forecasts
of future trade and financial trends up to 1995. Dr Wilson's text is amply illustrated with computer
generated line and bar charts, shade graphs and pie diagrams.

The International
WHO'S WHO
of the
ARAB WORLD
1987/88
THE INTERNATIONAL WHO'S WHO OF THE ARAB WORLD is a unique source of reference. In one volume, it
provides an alphabetical listing of approximately 3,200 biographies of prominent Arabs. It includes both
Arabs resident in the Arab World, and those living abroad.
Coverage of the directory is broadly based, and individuals listed include: businessmen, diplomats,
politicians, bankers, engineers, lawyers, judges, oil officials, physicians, scientists, religious leaders,
academics, writers, journalists, artists.

Comprehensive data is supplied for each individual listed to give you the best possible contacts. The
information provided includes: full name, nationality and profession/position, followed by personal
details, education, career history, membership of professional associations, languages, personal interests
and leisure activities, full contact address with telephone and telex numbers, where available.

This Directory could save you considerable time in developing a range of valuable contacts.
