  6. World Bank asked to boost inter-Arab investment Email Comment PDFShare Shareclose x Delicious Digg reddit Facebook StumbleUpon TwitterMy Space Newsvine Technorati LinkedIn Yahoo! Buzz Mixx Print with Text Size Emirates Business 24-7, 27 June 2010 Arab countries have sought help from the World Bank to increase capital flow among them as part of accelerating post-crisis reforms designed to stimulate their economies, according to their main financial establishment. The Abu Dhabi-based Arab Monetary FundArab Monetary Fund (AMFAMF) said it was working with the Washington-based World Bank on a mechanism to promote inter-Arab investmentinter-Arab investmentInter-Arab Investment Guarantee Corporation IAIGC Kuwait | Financial Services News | Profile | Officers , buoyed by a steady rise in regional capital flow over the past few years despite the 2008 global fiscal distress. The mechanism involves the preparation of periodical reports on economic data and investment projects in Arab nations with the aim of identifying business opportunities and giving investors better access to regional markets. "These reports are part of an overall project being carried out by the AMFAMF and the World Bank... it includes the creation of a regional mechanism for the settlement of balance of payments in the Arab countries with the aim of providing comprehensive information on inter-Arab capital and encouraging the movement of capital, goods and other exchanges within the region," AMFAMF Chairman Jassim Al Manai said in a statement published by the AMFAMF website. The AMFAMF, a regional IMF-style institution run by the Cairo-based Arab League, said the scheme was discussed again at the recent conference on Arab capital inflow held in Abu Dhabi by the AMFAMF and the World Bank. Manai noted that there has been a steady rise in inter-Arab investmentinter-Arab investmentInter-Arab Investment Guarantee Corporation IAIGC Kuwait | Financial Services News | Profile | Officers but added the flow could accelerate after those arrangements are enforced. "The remarkable thing in the capital flow into the Arab countries over the past years is that there has been a steady rise in inter-Arab investmentinter-Arab investmentInter-Arab Investment Guarantee Corporation IAIGC Kuwait | Financial Services News | Profile | Officers ," Mana said. "Some Arab countries recorded an increase in capital inflow even after the global crisis and the main reason for this was the big increase in regional investment." In a recent study, another key Arab League organisation said the pick-up in regional investment was because many Arab investors were forced by the crisis to shun global markets and turn to home countries. "Another key factor was the improvement in investment laws and a push by most Arab countries to attract capital given their importance in economic growth in the absence of other major financial sources in some regional nations," said the Kuwait-based Inter-Arab Investment Guarantee CorporationInter-Arab Investment Guarantee Corporation (IAIGCIAIGC). It said the investment climate and infrastructure in most Arab countries had largely improved over the past few years, but added more work needs to be done. The report showed the bulk of the increase in foreign direct investment (FDI) flow into the region in 2008 was in inter-Arab investments, which leaped by nearly 64 per cent. The growth in capital inflow boosted the share of Arab states in global FDI to 5.3 per cent in 2008 from 3.9 per cent in 2007 and only 0.4 per cent in 2000. The sharp rise in inter-Arab investments was the main factor in the FDI growth in the region, as they jumped to $34 billion (Dh125bn) in 2008 from about $21bn in 2007. "Gulf countries have remained the main source of inter-Arab investments, while new players emerged on the arena in 2008, including Egypt and Lebanon," IAIGCIAIGC said. "Between 1995 and 2008, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Lebanon were the largest beneficiaries of inter-Arab investments as they attracted $95bn, nearly 70 per cent of the total inter-Arab FDI of $135bn." A breakdown showed Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil exporter, topped the list of Arab FDI recipients in 2008, with about $29.6bn. The UAE was the second largest beneficiary, receiving nearly $13.7bn. Arab states have often been urged to reform their financial and investment laws to attract capital needed to stimulate their economies and reverse a steady capital flight from the region. The calls gained momentum after the global crisis, which has inflicted heavy losses on many Arab investors. Despite the relative improvement in the investment environment in the region, inter-Arab capital flow has remained a fraction of the total Arab investments abroad. Between 1995 and 2008, the cumulative inter-Arab investmentinter-Arab investmentInter-Arab Investment Guarantee Corporation IAIGC Kuwait | Financial Services News | Profile | Officers totalled just over $100bn, less than five per cent of the overseas Arab assets IAIGCIAIGC's figures showed the crisis depressed FDI into the Arab region in 2009 for the first time in many years despite a surge of more than 26 per cent in 2008. It showed FDI pumped into 17 Arab nations that have provided data soared by 26.9 per cent to around $89.2bn in 2008 from nearly $70.3bn in 2007. FDI flow was much higher in 2008 despite a sharp slowdown in the second half of the year and it followed several years of steady growth in capital flow into many Arab countries because of high oil prices, a surge in regional projects and improvement in investment laws. "As for 2009, FDI flow into the Arab region was expected to have declined due to several factors, including the slowdown or contraction in the economies of industrial nations, which have constituted a major source of foreign direct investment for Arab states over the past few years," IAIGCIAIGC said. "Another factor was the continuation of turbulence in most Arab and global markets as such instability contributed to increasing uncertainty regarding investment decisions in the medium and long terms and to shelving of more projects in the region in infrastructure, hydrocarbon, and real estate sectors." Addressing the conference in Abu Dhabi, a World Bank official urged Arab governments to push ahead with reforms to encourage regional capital flow. Mansoor Dailami, Finance Director at the World Bank, said regional nations should take advantage of a recovery in their economies, referring to recent forecasts by the IMF and the World Bank that real GDP in the Middle East and North Africa could be around four per cent this year and 4.1 per cent in 2011. "Increasing economic co-operation and investment flow among the Arab countries will support their economies and enable them to withstand the repercussions of fresh turmoil in the global markets," he said. In recent comments, IAIGCIAIGC Director Fahd bin Rashid Al Ibrahim urged Arab nations to pursue economic reforms to lure in investments, saying existing laws are still not attractive enough to foreign capital. "There are too many obstacles for foreign investment and inter-Arab investmentinter-Arab investmentInter-Arab Investment Guarantee Corporation IAIGC Kuwait | Financial Services News | Profile | Officers in the region... they include the absence of a unified law to regulate investment in member states and failure of some governments to comply with the agreements they sign with the investors," he said. "The obstacles also involve the disparity and deficiencies in legislations governing business, mainly the labour law and investment protection rules, as well as the absence of an effective judicial system to settle any trade or business issue... of course, these obstacles vary from one country to another but their presence is largely obstructing capital flow into the Arab World."

  19. National Alliance to name PM candidate next week Thursday, June 17th 2010 10:13 AM Baghdad, June 17 (AKnews) - A leading figure in the National Alliance which includes the National Alliance and State of law revealed on Wednesday that the alliance will announce next week its candidate for Prime Minister, indicating that the candidate will be proposed on the agreement between both coalitions not through wise men committee. "The National Alliance will surprise the Iraq people next week by proposing its only candidate for Prime Minister Post, the resolution of the candidate, may not be through wise men Committee which is formed by both coalitions,” Mohammed Al-Bayati, A member of the National Alliance said. "The negotiations between the coalitions are now almost stopped because of the differing views on the key points, the National Alliance sees the need to discuss all the mechanisms that lead to the selection of the ministers, their work and the government program, before choosing a prime minister,” Al-Bayati said. He confirmed on "the need to form a strong government in its president, program and ministers that can provide services." " identifying the Prime Minister must be preceded by making sure that he will get the satisfaction and acceptance of other political blocs, determining the alliance's candidate for prime minister would require further negotiations within the coalition because it is formed from 15 basic and non basic bloc,” he said. Negotiations have started between the Iraqi National Alliance (INA) and the State of Law coalition after they announced officially their alliance in the 4th of last May then they formed the largest bloc, as they say in order to entrust them to form the government according to Article 76 of the Iraqi Constitution, which is considered by Iraqiya List headed by Allawi as a constitutional violation and encroachment on the elections rights. State of law announced that its candidate for prime minister post is Nuri Al-Maliki only and that made disagreement between both coalitions that’s after the insistence of the National Coalition on refusing to give AL-Maliki a second presidency round, most notably is the Sadrist bloc led by cleric Moqtada Al-Sadr . The results of the elections showed the progress of Iraqiya list by gaining 91 seats, followed by the State of Law coalition list by 89 seats, the National Coalition by 70 seats and the Kurdistan Alliance by 43 seats. Iraqiya consider itself as the largest bloc that must be charged to form the government based on achieving the highest votes in the elections that was held on 7 of last March while state of law considers the Federal Court's interpretation to the constitutional article as it gave the right to the biggest bloc to form the government after allying. The debate now between the State of Law and Iraqiya Coalition is on the background of each one right to form the government according to the results of the elections and the interpretation of Article 76 of the Iraqi Constitution. The Federal Court has interpreted in 25 of last March (the largest bloc) or the biggest parliamentary that can form the government. A statement released by the court states that the term ((the largest parliamentary bloc)) means: either the bloc that was formed after the elections through one electoral list that participated by a certain name or number and that gained the largest number of seats or the bloc that was formed by the alliance of two or more electoral lists that participated in the elections by deferent names and numbers and was joined in one bloc that have one entity in the Parliament.
