Arab stock markets: country-by-country analysis and review

Article Abstract:

Arab stock markets appear to be cheaper in terms of valuation compared to the US and European stock exchanges despite highly conservative economic growth prospects and low international investor interest in emerging stock market securities. More than half of the shares in the region's stock exchanges are trading at below book value. Such valuations appear extremely enticing for long-term investors even when allowing for differences in accounting practices.
