Best sales prospects in the Saudi market: 40 sector profiles
Article Abstract:
Post-Gulf War Saudi Arabia has seen prosperity return and expects GDP growth of 5% through 1994. Non-oil industrial sectors are expected to expand, and the return of capital is promoting investment and stock market activity. This is creating jobs, which is beneficial to the government's financial status burdened with war debts. Modernization of some Saudi trade practices and the profusion of private capital are benefitting the private sector. The 40 Saudi business sectors with the highest potential are listed.

Saudi policies on trade, taxation and foreign investment: reaching consensus on WTO-related issues
Article Abstract:
The fickleness of the international oil market and the desire to exploit its other resources is changing Saudi Arabia's economic policy into one that is accomodating to foreign investment. This process is speeded up by Saudi Arabia's intention to join the World Trade Organization, as well as the country's plan to diversify its revenue base, whose dependence on oil and income taxation is fast approaching a point where the country's resources are unable to meet its expenditures.

Tunisia's economy: growth forecasts revised upward
Article Abstract:
Tunisia's Central Bank projects economic growth for the country in 1992 to be 8.4%, considerably higher than the original estimate of 6.5% made in Dec 1991. The higher growth is primarily due to four economic sectors which performed better than expected: petroleum, agriculture, tourism and agro/industrial products. In this last sector, the greatest increase was for packaged food products. US officials believe the estimates to be sound.
