Trade Forecast
IRmep’s 2006 forecast of US exports to the Arab market, cited in the Financial Times, US State Department, Middle East North Africa Financial News, presents a paradoxical picture of trade relations. Although most members of the 22 member Arab League strongly disagree with US regional policies, their imports from the US are on the upswing. Much of this growth is driven by booming infrastructure buildout and capital goods imports. As industrial buyers scramble to line up suppliers in 2006, the US will also fare well as a major supplier of professional consulting and engineering services.
