DEVELOPMENT IN ARABIA

will tell you about it, briefly. Don't miss the boat and you ought to
take the right one too.
Lately, the Arabic Gulf nations have their economies booming due to the
high price of oil after 2001. The price jumped from US$20 to above US$60
per barrel. Major producers are Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Abu
Dhabi, Qatar,
Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and Iraq. Despite this phenomenon, their
national
economists know that they can no longer rely on oil alone.

They
have to invest in other activities beyond the Oil-Trapped
Economies. They must sustain and buffer themselves against the
inherent
volatility of oil prices and diminishing reserves.
Dubai alone is investing
billions of dollars in building many new special interest zones. There
are the
Dubai Sports Village, Dubai Entertainment City, Dubai Knowledge City,
Dubai PALM Islands and many more.
Bahrain has its Formula One Circuit
and all other Gulf nations are following suit at a fast pace to bring
in crowds to their international events venues and special
interest cities. The pie is huge, so
take a big bite. |

There are lots of
stories and tales about Arab businessmen spreading in
Malaysia. You can believe them or discard them. Some might be unique
personal experience of friends or friends of friends. Nothing
is true
until you experience it yourself. To me, businessmen don't
look alike
but there are
similarities in the way
their minds work
and in their business cultures.
Doing business is about taking risks, knowing finer points of
your prospective partners and having mutual agreements.
Many gave up early due to various reasons. Many have also
succeeded in gaining lucrative returns from their ventures as a result
of consistency and persistence.
