Seminar “Doing Business with the Arab countries in the light of the recent development in the Arab world”

The Chamber of Commerce has the privilege to invite you to the seminar “Doing Business with the Arab countries in the light of the recent development in the Arab world” organized in close cooperation with the Arab-Belgium-Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce (ABLCC).

The event will be held at 3.30 pm on Monday, the 14^th of November 2011 at the Chamber of Commerce of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

By the end of 2010, countries in the Middle East and North Africa had largely recovered from the global financial crisis, and growth rates were expected to reach pre-crisis levels in 2011. In early 2011, a series of prodemocracy movements began that resulted in swift regime change in Tunisia and Egypt, and spread to Bahrain, Libya, Syria and Yemen. The unrest and uncertainty associated with these movements have affected the short-term macroeconomic outlook. While political change will bring short-run challenges, the transition has the potential to significantly boost economic growth and raise living standards in the medium run.

The seminar will be followed by a reception, an excellent networking opportunity among participants.

The program of the event is enclosed.
