PHOSPHATE

OCP: NEW MODE OF CALL FOR TENDERS ANNOUNCEMENT

As a global leader in the phosphate and phosphate derivatives markets, OCP has been a key player in the international market since its founding in 1920. The Group has exclusive access to Morocco’s phosphate rock reserves, the largest global reserve base according to the USGS. The Group is a cost-leading producer of phosphate rock, and has become a leading player across the whole phosphate value chain. The Group has 23,000 employees and generated $5.5 billion dollars of revenues in 2013. At present, OCP Group supplies 30% of the world’s imports of phosphate and phosphate-derived products. The Group plans to increase its capacity to meet the word’s demand, and to be a leader in a dynamic and competitive environment. OCP has ushered in a new industrial process era with a longterm investment program designed to expand phosphate and fertilizer production capacity, reach the best cost efficiencies, invest in R&D, and increase the Group’s international presence. To support this ambitious industrial development program, OCP has established global standard means to support its large-scale needs. This industrial development program will be subject to the best practices, good governance,

ethical extraction and production, and will have for primary aim the development of the national and regional industrial ecosystem, in line with current laws and regulations. To optimize OCP’s purchasing procedures and make all of the group’s orders accessible to everyone, the group has developed a call for tenders system in order to publish all of its purchasing needs online and be available for consultation 24/7. The Group has already implemented the E-SUPPLY system last October 2013 as an important milestone of the OCP’s process re-engineering & digitization policy. E-SUPPLY’s Purchase platform has given to suppliers and partners access to an online solution with a fully digitized and optimized process. Following the same strategy and commitment to optimize the relationships with its current or potential suppliers and partners, the group announces that all suppliers have full access to all of the Group’s current or upcoming calls for tender via the link https://tenders.ocp.ma. The Call for tender system cover all of OCP’s purchasing needs and all suppliers will be able to check and express interests on orders of interest to them.

FOREWORD BY DOMINIC JERMEY ALGERIA COUNTRY PROFILE

K Trade & Investment (UKTI) has a longstanding relationship with the Arab-British Chamber of Commerce. We share a common commitment to strengthening ties between the UK and the Arab world, promoting trade and investment and ensuring that UK businesses are given the support and advice they need to succeed in this fast-growing region.

The Gulf States are making significant investments across the kinds of sectors in which British companies excel including infrastructure, healthcare, sustainable development and education. The pan-GCC rail project; Expo 2020 in the UAE; and the 2022 World Cup in Qatar all represent major opportunities that play to the UK’s strengths and expertise. Similar investments are being made in North Africa, with Egypt alone planning to extend the Suez Canal, build new cities and reform its education system. In common with the Gulf, these projects aren’t restricted to large companies but rather opportunities exist throughout the supply chain for exactly the kind of small and medium-sized businesses represented in this directory. The UK Government is committed to doing everything it can to support the UK’s small and medium-sized businesses. In 2014 UKTI launched a new programme to help medium-sized businesses start their export journey or break into new markets. Offering a tailored package of support and advice, together with access to finance through UK Export Finance, and training to improve export capability, the programme is already paying dividends and has trebled the number of businesses supported to more than 3,000.

We are working with the British Chambers of Commerce to create an international business network. This partnership connects overseas business networks to UK chambers, increasing the range and quality of services on offer to British businesses both at home and abroad. We have already established British Business Centres in Dubai and Abu Dhabi - more will follow, so that UK businesses can get the advice and support they need. This latest edition of the Trade Directory is an invaluable resource for UK companies looking to do business in the region and I look forward to working with the Arab-British Chamber of Commerce to help support their export ambitions.

Dominic Jermey OBE, CVO Chief Executive UK Trade & Investment

We are making it easier for small companies with growth potential to access government services through a single portal for advice, and introducing a dedicated team of international advisers in the English regions to support 10,000 first-time exporters and increase to 60,000, small and medium-sized businesses’ attendance at international exhibitions. However, partnerships with the private sector remain vital if we are to achieve our export ambitions. By working with organisations like the Arab-British Chamber of Commerce we can develop stronger, more cohesive commercial and trade support relationships and ultimately help the UK’s small and medium-sized businesses to explore new markets.

ABCC CHAIRMAN’S FOREWORDPROFILE ALGERIA COUNTRY

am delighted to commend this Trade Directory 2015-2016 to all its readers as I am sure that its pages will be perused eagerly for the wealth of useful information that is contained within them.

The Arab-British Chamber of Commerce performs a tremendously important task of business support acting as a bridge that facilitates the exchange of contacts between the British and Arab business communities. We are uniquely equipped to assist companies seeking to achieve success in their business transactions with their counterparts in the Arab world and vice versa. This Trade Directory forms part of a range of professional services that the Chamber provides to support its members.

It is perhaps worth stressing that the Chamber is far from being an exclusive club and that it welcomes into membership any commercial entity and business person engaged in bilateral trade and investment between Britain and the Arab countries across the Middle East and North Africa.

I am proud to be the Chairman of an organisation that has worked tirelessly and consistently for some forty years to strengthen cooperation between the British and Arab business communities.

We are the only existing non-government business support organisation based in London whose remit extends equally to all the Arab states and we provide some essential services for companies seeking to do business in all these markets in all sectors from the traditional areas such as oil and gas to renewables, innovative technology, creative industries, healthcare and education.

The Anglo-Arab partnership has strong roots that extend deep into history and the Chamber is able to make its own unique contribution to strengthening these crucial contacts by supporting companies on a daily basis. Arab-British cooperation is a growing influence in the world today and the Chamber is exceptionally well placed to make a difference for mutual benefit and common prosperity. The Chamber is dedicated to offering professional services and expert advice to a network of exporters, investors and skills providers with the prime objective of helping them achieve success in the global market place. It has an honourable record of service and remains geared up to meeting future challenges by constantly revising its approach and adapting its services to more effectively meet the changing requirements of its clients and strategic partners. We are fortunate to count on close relations with all the leading institutions and influential policy makers who play decisive roles in the public and private sectors. The Chamber is enormously well respected for its professional approach and its consistent activities are characterised by impeccable standards of impartiality and confidentiality.

Much of the Chamber’s work is focused on the affluent Gulf Cooperation Council countries where the economies are continuing to expand and ambitious investment programmes are giving rise to enormous opportunities for innovative British industries, consultancies and investors. The Chamber is proud to have inscribed on its logo a motto that proclaims “friendship through trade” because this remains as relevant and resonant today as when it was first adopted. Likewise, this principle shapes all the daily activities that the Chamber carries out in support of its members and as it works to strengthen Arab-British cooperation across the entire spectrum of business sectors.

The Rt Hon Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean, PC Chairman Arab-British Chamber of Commerce

SECRETARY GENERAL & CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S ALGERIA COUNTRY PROFILE FOREWORD

s Secretary General and Chief Executive of the Arab British Chamber of Commerce, I am delighted to introduce the latest edition of our trade directory, which this year appears as the Chamber marks its 40th Anniversary. The Chamber has an impressive record of achievement and I have the great privilege to lead an organisation that is now well respected throughout the business and diplomatic communities for its professionalism and reliability of service.

Aspects of the Chamber’s activities are reflected in its publications and website. These are designed to give readers and users a clear grasp of the scope of the Chamber’s role and how our services can help businesses to grow and develop. This trade directory, which is the Chamber’s flagship publication, is no exception. For 40 years the Chamber has been dedicated to the enhancement and promotion of Arab-British trade, investment and commercial cooperation. It has established itself as the leading institution in the UK for Arab-British cooperation at the level of trade, investment and commerce. One of the Chamber’s chief assets is its enduring and productive ties with the Arab and British private sectors through the international network of Chambers of Commerce and by choosing to join the Chamber a company is able to start making contact with an extensive commercial network in the Arab World and around the UK.

The Chamber can be proud of its unique role in assisting both Arab and British companies in their pursuit of new business and in seeking out new markets. Personally, I am deeply committed to ensuring that under my leadership the organisation will remain dedicated to improving its excellent level of service and I am inspired by the prospects opening up in the future as the Chamber enters its fifth decade.

Dr Afnan Al-Shuaiby Secretary General & Chief Executive Officer Arab British Chamber of Commerce

The Arab countries continue to pursue ambitious investment programmes which are transforming their economies and seeing them become much more prominent players on the global stage. They are liberalising trade, strengthening their private sectors and increasing their efficiency of production in a concerted drive to promote social and economic development. Enormous budgets have been allocated for targeted public investment in ambitious infrastructure projects and to diversify the Arab economies. It is undeniable that the expanding Arab markets offer abundant opportunities and are certain to do so increasingly in coming years. Trade between the UK and the Arab World is stronger today than at any previous period in modern history and the Chamber can take pride in its consistent record in helping facilitate this growth in bilateral trade and investment.

Dr Afnan Al-Shuaiby, ABCC Secretary General & CEO

The 2nd Arab-British Economic Forum took place successfully on 21 October 2014 at the Millennium Hotel in the heart of London’s Mayfair. This important event brought together around 350 delegates from the UK and Arab countries to discuss new opportunities for investment and cooperation in a variety of sectors. It sought to build on the success of the 1st Arab-British Economic Forum held in 2009 and received widespread coverage in the media. Rt Hon Baroness Symons, Chairman of the ABCC, expressed thanks the impressive list of sponsors and supporters of the Forum, whose cooperation had proved invaluable to enable the ABCC to hold the event.

The forum showcased the latest opportunities for cooperation and investment in Qatar as it prepares for the 2022 World Cup and progresses with the implementation of its 2030 Vision. The forum was formally opened by HE Sheikh Ahmed bin Jassim bin Mohammed Al Thani, Minister of Economy and Commerce, State of Qatar, who told delegates that the business forum would help cement relations between the UK and Qatar and extend their scope. The Minister stressed that Qatar had an economy that was open to the world and regarded the UK as a valued trade partner. He pointed to the country’s 2030 Vision which aspires to transform the economy from one based around oil and gas to one that was much more diverse. In this respect, non-oil growth was steadily increasing to reach half of the GDP largely a result of the development of IT and infrastructure.

for cooperation between the UK and the GCC in strengthening trade, industry and investment. Mr Tobias Ellwood MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, with responsibilities for the Middle East and North Africa, spoke of the UK’s 2010 Gulf initiative which aimed to develop cooperation in key areas such as trade, education and energy. The UK-GCC partnership involved much more than simply trade as it embraced strategic issues and security. The Minister strongly endorsed the sentiments embodied in the ABCC’s motto, “friendship through trade”. Dr Afnan Al-Shuaiby, ABCC Secretary General & CEO, presented certificates of appreciation to HE Dr Al Zayani and Mr Ellwood. Opening a session on sustainable energy, Mr Shahid Malik MP, a former UK government minister, paid tribute to Dr Al-Shuaiby on her reappointment as Secretary General and CEO of the ABCC. This was as a reflection of the important role of the Chamber in promoting Arab-British trade and the efforts of Dr Al-Shuaiby in particular.

About Aqaba Container Terminal (ACT) Leveraging on its position and location as a logistic hub situated at the cross roads of three continents and four countries, the Port of Aqaba caters to more than fifteen of the world’s top largest shipping lines, with Aqaba Container Terminal (ACT) being its main gateway to Jordan and beyond. Aqaba Container Terminal is a joint venture between Aqaba Development Corporation (ADC) and APM Terminals, part of the well-known maritime industry leader A.P. Møller– Maersk Group. Today, ACT is committed to providing the highest level of services to its customers, while continuously working to optimize facilities, technology and productivity with the ultimate objective to develop efficiencies through Jordan’s supply chain. To this effect, ACT completed in 2008 their first phase of development, followed by further significant investment in handling equipment and infrastructure projects which delivered an additional 460 meter of quay length by the end of 2013, effectively doubling the total length of the quay to reach a full 1000 meter. The completion of the berth expansion project constitute a major milestone for the Terminal and was inaugurated by His Majesty King Abdullah II of Jordan. With an annual capacity of about 1.3 million TEU, these investments enable Aqaba to cater for Jordan’s current and growing business in the region. The port has been nominated on several occasions as one of the best service providers in the region and has received several awards. Very recently ACT was nominated as one of the Top 5 Port Operator’s in Middle East and Indian Subcontinent by a panel of maritime experts from Lloyds list and was “highly commended” during the award ceremony which took place in Dubai.

community, through employment (99% of ACT employees are Jordanian) and through extensive Corporate Social Responsibility programs supporting health care, education and environment in the poorest areas around Aqaba. ACT places great emphasis on providing for a safe and productive work environment through very effective training and development programs. Putting words into action, ACT proves to be the most sustainable gateway to Jordan and the Levant: It is the first container terminal in the Middle East to be certified “ECO port” and it is the first container terminal in the Middle East to meet the G4 guidelines for transparency and disclosure outlined by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).

The award is testimony to the relentless efforts developed by ACT to support Jordan’s logistic chain as well as the local

phase, the report added. This translates into a total regional portfolio of projects worth $2.5 trillion in total. While the new projects are distributed across sectors and locations, the report confirms that the Gulf dominates - with 87% of the total project volume. Saudi Arabia represents by far the largest MENA market - with projects to a value of $784bn or 31.3% of the entire pipeline. Bahrain, where a major infrastructure overhaul is in progress, has the highest amount of investment relative to GDP, at 180%, the report finds, followed closely by the UAE. Meanwhile, three Maghreb countries, Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia, have the lowest ratio of project values to GDP, at below 20%.

undertaking scheduled to be completed by August 2015. The project, which will widen the canal and allow for a two-way passage of ships, was funded domestically through the sale of investment certificates. In addition to the waterway’s expansion, the Suez Canal Zone will turn 67,000 sq. km of land abutting the canal into an industrial zone. Construction is soon to begin on a long-awaited plan to develop one million new homes, which adds to infrastructure projects already under way across the country, OBG reported. The first phase of the estimated $40bn project was scheduled to commence in February with 120,000 homes to be built by UAE-based Arabtec Holding. The first homes are to be delivered in 2017. According to media reports, stakeholders of the project have already sub-contracted different phases of work on the project. Egypt’s formal housing market has always faced the need to keep up with a growing demand where the population of 88 million has been growing by 2.5% a year. The million affordable homes will be built across 10 governorates on 13 plots of land which currently belong to the Egyptian armed forces. It is one of many

MOROCCO Morocco launched a year-long survey of urban and rural households in July 2014 in order to address public housing needs as part of preparations for developing its housing policy. With strong urbanisation and a growing population, one challenge is to provide more affordable homes for residents in its major cities such as Rabat, Casablanca, Marrakech and Tangiers. “Morocco continues to be a buyers’ market, and, on that basis, buyers are beginning to materialise thick and fast, especially under the 1.5m mark,” commented London estate agents Aylesford International. Of total real estate transactions in the country, apartments represent about 59% of total sales, houses 4.9%, villas 1.2% and urban land 27.2%. As this article has sought to highlight there are a huge number of ambitious projects taking place across the Arab world and many new projects emerging in coming years. This indicates that the MENA real estate market offers considerable opportunities for investors now and will continue to do so in the future.

new businesses to their country. The MENA countries are no exception to this trend and new free zones have been emerging in the region’s diverse markets from as far afield as Dubai to Djibouti. Firms that choose to set up in one of the MENA free zones, find themselves operating within new, expanding markets where many people enjoy increasing disposable income – free zones provide an important bridge between businesses, customers and suppliers East and West. Historically, governments since the time of antiquity have provided traders and investors with special concessions offering respite from normal import-export tax regimes and customs regulations in return for a steady stream of much needed revenue to the public purse. Before the advent of the modern era, these zones were concentrated in the Mediterranean basin, at Delos in Greco-Roman times, and in Venice, Genoa and Marseilles during the Middle Ages. By the 19th century they had spread to Southeast Asia. It was not until the latter half of the 20th century, however, that what are now known as free zones made their mark as catalysts of economic development, most notably in China in 1979

The European Union maintained its position as Algeria’s main trade partner in 2014, but on an individual country basis, China remains its largest supplier for the second consecutive year, according to Customs figures, APS 15 February 2015. In 2014, the total trade of Algeria – both exports and imports - hit $121.28 billion, including $70.72bn with EU members, or 57.72% of total trade, the National Centre of Data Processing and Statistics of Customs (CNIS) told APS. “The bulk of Algeria’s foreign trade remains polarised on the traditional partners,” said the same source, noting that the EU countries are main partners, representing 50.56% of the Algerian imports and 64.36% of the Algerian exports. Algeria’s imports from the EU member countries reached $29.49bn in 2014, up 2.68% in comparison with 2013, while exports of Algeria to the region had amounted to $40.52bn, down 1.83%.

It is pushing for economic reforms and a greater role for the private sector to help increase employment prospects, according to the National Office of Statistics (Office

he Comoros is a small, low-income three island state in the Indian Ocean off Madagascar with limited natural resources and connectivity to the rest of the world. Its economic growth was 3.5% in 2013 but it is estimated to have eased to 3.3% in 2014, adversely affected by electricity disruptions and slower-than-expected implementation of the public investment programme. Inflation has remained subdued in the low single digits. The current account deficit is projected to narrow to 7.4% of GDP in 2014 from 11.3% in 2013, reflecting a contraction in imports that resulted from lower imports of investment goods and lower fuel import prices, as well as higher remittances.

AFRICAN FREE TRADE ZONE While bilateral free trade agreements, as a means to further the market-opening and rule-making agenda, have been globally picking up steam, there have also been parallel efforts to usher in a plethora of regional trade agreements and economic unions. One such proposal is for an African Free Trade Zone.

As the world’s top producer of ylang-ylang essence, and its second-largest producer of vanilla, the Comoros is a leader in world perfume production to such an extent that it is often referred to as the “Perfumed Islands”.

such as solar and geothermal energy.

The country’s economy is based mainly on service activities connected with its strategic location and status as a free trade zone in the Horn of Africa. Djibouti’s economic wealth derives largely from the country’s proximity to the large Ethiopian market and on a large foreign expatriate community. Natural resources constitute a substantial amount of salt deposits and a few other natural resources such as perlite, gypsum, limestone, and energy deposits (geothermal and solar). Djibouti is highly dependent on international aid, with France as the largest donor, and a vast proportion of business activities and trade opportunities that are available with Djibouti are of a developmental nature. The government also receives significant subsidies from Arab oil producing countries for balance of payments support and development projects. Djibouti has few natural resources and little industry. GDP composed by sector of origin consists of: agriculture: 3%, industry: 17.3%, services: 79.7%. Djibouti is trying to transform itself into a regional trade, finance and telecommunications hub. The economy’s major focus is on maritime goods transport.

ollowing a period of uncertainty and economic slowdown, Egypt is pursuing structural reforms, promoting investment, and developing measures to protect the vulnerable. Initial measures implemented, along with some recovery in confidence, are starting to produce a turnaround, the IMF observed, 11 February 2015. As Egypt implements policy initiatives, prospects for growth, employment, and macroeconomic stability will improve. Growth is projected to reach 3.8% in 2014-15 and to rise steadily to 5% over the medium term.

TRANSPORT Egypt has adopted a national roads project which was launched by the president in July 2014. The proposals, whose total estimated cost is put at LE36bn, include 39 roads whose total length will be 4,400km. The project began in the 2014-2015 fiscal year with 14 roads totalling 1,200km at an investment of LE13bn. Public and private sector companies are working to complete the project, the Transport Ministry said. Among the roads planned are the 33km Ismailia-Banha road, the 180km Sohag-Red Sea road and the 134km Wadi al-Natrun-Alamein road.

ENERGY

provides an important source of revenue. Significant areas for developing the sector include the Nile Delta, the Mediterranean, Eastern and Western Desert, the Sinai, the Gulf of Suez and the Red Sea. Refineries are distributed geographically among the regions in Cairo, Alexandria, Suez, Tanta and Sinai. As for pipelines, the AGP originates in Egypt and connects to Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon and the SUMED Pipeline (SuezMediterranean Pipeline), which connects Red Sea with the Mediterranean. Turning to LNG, Egypt has two LNG plants for converting gas into liquid for ease of export via shipping and a gas export pipeline: these plants are located in Damietta and

MANUFACTURING The manufacturing industry is a central part of Egypt’s economic engine, producing goods for the huge domestic market and for export. Manufacturing accounted for 15.6% of GDP in the fiscal year 2013 (July 2012-June 2013). The sector was affected by the difficulties of the recent period, but as of 2014 its outlook seemed more positive. Recovery has been supported by a more favourable global economic climate, as well as by a return to greater stability in 2014. While the domestic market is the primary focus for many investors, Egypt’s relatively low costs, decades of experience in many sectors and skills base all make it an attractive location for production for export. Egypt has benefitted from particularly strong trade ties with Europe and the Middle East, but is now also turning its attention to Africa and Asia.

ICT Egypt aims to attract 4.5 million families to using broadband by the end of 2016, doubling the number to over 9 million families before the end of 2020. The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology plans to provide broadband services to 90% of Internet users in the country by the end of 2020. According to

On the back of this sizeable wealth stream, Iraq’s import demand is projected to increase by 150% by 2020, with major opportunities in sectors including power generation, infrastructure, healthcare, education, financial and professional services, telecoms, security and ICT sector. In the last few years, with relatively better security and stability, Iraq continued to make progress in reconstruction, increasing its oil exports, and improving living conditions for its citizens. An improved security environment and an initial wave of foreign investment helped to spur economic activity, particularly in the energy, construction, and retail sectors.

IRAQ COUNTRY PROFILE will likely lead to rapid earnings growth as that new capital is employed, as well as the potential for dividends. The banking system in Iraq is still modest in its structure and in the percentage of its contribution to GDP. Despite the fact that private banks dominate a large percentage of the banking system’s total capital, the public sector has a complete monopoly over government financial transactions. The CBI has been carrying series of reforms that aim to establish a banking system capable of mobilising and allocating financial resources and improving capacity to serve economic activity in order to achieve continual high economic growth rates. This reform modernises and strengthens banks by bringing about major changes in the nature of the industry and restructuring it to mobilise domestic savings, limit capital flight, and attract foreign investment flows.

JORDAN COUNTRY PROFILE in November 2013. Although Jordan has already signed a number of PPP contracts, the field was subject to various legal ambiguities prior to the passage of the law, reducing Jordan’s ability to harness private capital for the development of public infrastructure. Measures contained in the law in addition to the clarification of PPP contracts include the creation of a council to approve all government contracts with the private sector. Jordan is increasingly keen to involve the private sector in infrastructure development as a fiscal deficit has constrained its capital investment budget.

Imports of agricultural products posted an increase of 11.9% in the first nine months of 2014 relative to the same period of last year, against a year-on-year expansion of 8.8% in the first nine months of 2013.

The latest figures released by the Ministry of Tourism showed that the tourism sector posted a 4.2% yearly increase in the number of tourists over the year 2014, to cross the 1 million mark during the year reached a total of 1,018,541 tourists, while the number of passengers at the Airport increased by 4.1% over the first nine months of the year to reach circa 5 million

In the 2014, the downward trend started to relatively ease as of the spring season months, bearing in mind that the notable contributors to the overall positive yearly performance when compared to the first nine months of 2013 consisted of tourists originating from Arab countries and the American continent. The number of Arab tourists increased by 9.7% in this year’s first nine months, after having dropped by 18.1% during last year’s similar period. Likewise, the number of tourists from the American continent increased by 8.1% in this year’s covered period, after a decline of 8.5% in the first nine months of 2013. As to the number of incomers from other parts of the world, mixed movements were registered. In fact, arrivals of tourists from Europe improved annually by a small 1.6% in the first nine months of 2014. On the other hand, the latest statistics released by the Port of Beirut showed that its activity growth eased down during the first nine months of the year. At the level of the quantity of goods, there was an increase of

LEBANON COUNTRY PROFILE index went up by a mere 1.2% over the first nine months of 2014 to close at 106.58. At the level of the Eurobond market, Lebanese bonds reported declines in yields over the first nine months of 2014 despite heightened regional geopolitical concerns, given the attractiveness of Lebanese debt papers as compared to papers in other regional and emerging markets, the high level of foreign currency primary liquidity at commercial banks (US$ 38.7 billion at endSeptember 2014), S&P’s revision of Lebanon’s outlook from “Negative” to “Stable”, and the rise of Lebanon’s weighting in JP Morgan indices. Finally, with Lebanese capital markets remaining quite underdeveloped, Lebanon’s financial authorities see the need to develop those markets to help finance corporate growth and infrastructure development.

ibya is located in North Africa, bordering the Mediterranean Sea, between Egypt, Tunisia, and Algeria. It enjoys an extensive coastline stretching some 1,770 km. The largest city and capital, Tripoli, is located in western part of the country while the other large city is Benghazi, which is located in the east.

The country is a member of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), the holder of Africa’s largest proved crude oil reserves, and an important contributor to the global supply of light, sweet crude oil. According to the Oil & Gas Journal, Libya had proved crude oil reserves of 48 billion barrels as of January 2014—which accounts for 38% if Africa’s total and the ninth-largest amount globally. Aspirations of prosperity and a better life for future generations of Libyans drove an uprising that was to change the government in 2011. Four years later Libya is still moving along the path of reconstruction to build a stable environment where normal commercial and social activities can take place freely in relative security. Risks of doing business inside the country remain considerable, although work by established players and trading activities carries on, especially in the important oil sector. Restoration of hydrocarbon output has underpinned economic recovery, resulting in a doubling of real GDP in 2012. Consumer price inflation fell while fiscal and current account balances moved in to surplus. Since the summer of 2013, however, disruptions to oil production and export facilities have reduced output to a trickle, undoing the achievements of the previous year. In September 2014, the National Oil Corporation (NOC) reported of oil production of between 925,000 and 900,000bpd. Deepening hydrocarbon dependency, combined with growing current spending, exacerbate the impact of output disruptions on Libya’s economy. The decline of hydrocarbon output from 1.45 million bpd in 2012 to 1 million bpd in 2013 has reverberated throughout the economy. GDP contracted by over 9% with fiscal and current accounts registering 1% and 3% of GDP deficits respectively. Inflation remained subdued at 2.6% on average for 2013. Nevertheless, pressures

and bottlenecks arising from security constraints could increase inflation.

Venture Limited (MIVL), announced a successful

Internal disruptions reduced the forecast for 2014 hydrocarbon output to 0.6 million bpd, a decline of 40% from 2013. GDP is expected to contract further by 8% with a current account deficit of 17%. Government revenues could fall by 45% from the 2013 level, leading to a fiscal deficit in excess of 30% of GDP. Current spending, which grew from 40% of GDP in 2012 to 60% in 2013, is a major contributor to the fiscal outlook’s deterioration. Nevertheless, Libya retains significant reserves to help weather the crisis in the short term. At the end of 2013, combined international reserves at the Central Bank and the Libyan Investment Authority (LIA) were estimated at 180% of GDP. The drawdown of reserves is expected to accelerate from 1% of GDP in 2013 to 30% of GDP in 2014. Unemployment is likely to remain broadly unchanged, with limited public sector recruitment and stagnation in private sector hiring.

well was spudded on 23 May and drilled to a total depth

A restoration of security is a precondition for a growth in economic activity. For Libya to move away from dependency on oil to a sustainable path, it becomes necessary to create the conditions for diversified, private sector-led growth. This will require, among others, enhancing the business environment, upgrading the skills of the national workforce through better education and training, fostering financial services, and investing in physical, regulatory, and institutional infrastructure. Libya would benefit from a substantial increase in capacity building-assistance from the international community.

Minister of Economy, Mustafa Abufunas, called upon

Oil and gas exploration in the country continues generally unimpeded. Production has carried on despite confusion about the administration of the industry in recent years. In September 2014, Indonesia’s PT Medco Energi Internasional Tbk, through its subsidiaries PT Medco E&P Indonesia (Medco E&P) and Medco International

Initial tests demonstrated the well flowing at 3,300 barrels of oil per day and 140,000 standard cubic feet per day of gas through a 48/64 inch choke in the Top Lower Akakus formation, the company stated. The Wall Street Journal, September 2014, reported that oil production had resumed at the Sharara oilfield, the country’s largest, following improvements in security at the Zawiya refinery, which it supplies. An official at the National Oil Corporation (NOC) said that the field was producing about 70,000 bpd, down from its usual 340,000 bpd. Meanwhile, the Waha Oil Company began producing around 91,000 bpd, a company spokesman told Reuters, 9 September 2014. The oil grade was exported through the Es Sider terminal, the country’s largest export terminal, which reopened after being closed for a year due to protests and maintenance. In 2014 Libya’s foreign companies to participate in Libya’s development.

BANKING SECTOR The Central Bank of Libya (CBL) has embarked on a comprehensive reform of its operations. Speaking in January 2015, CBL Governor, Ali Salem Hibri, representing the country’s internationally recognised government and legislature currently based in eastern Libya, revealed that the CBL has prepared a comprehensive reform plan for its operations including decentralisation. The bank’s headquarters were transferred from Benghazi to Al-Beida, Libya Herald reported. Earlier in January Ali Salem Hibri paid a visit to Washington to meet IMF and World Bank officials. An economic report flagged up by Libya Herald forecast that real GDP growth in Libya could rise to 10.8% in 2015 and as high as 21.9% in 2016, after it had contracted by

LIBYA COUNTRY PROFILE 18% in 2014. Libya has not prepared a budget for 2015. The price of not reaching an agreement is high, as oil production only one-fifth of its pre-crisis 1.6 million b/d. Falling oil prices have obliged Libya to dip into its large reserves which reached $100bn in August 2014. However, if Libya continues to rely on its reserves they could be depleted in four years, the IMF warned. With oil prices plunging and limits on oil exports from Libya due to lack of functioning the oil fields, the Libyan currency is coming under severe pressure. The value of the currency depreciated in the international market by more than 20% by January 2015 and pressures continue. Malta-based oil logistics firm Medserv stated that operations at its Misurata base would continue, but at a very low level. According to a report from Malta Independent, 2 September 2014, work also commenced on one of the two offshore contracts relating to drilling offshore Libya, and the other was due to start in the fourth quarter of 2014. Anthony Diacono, Chairman of Medserv, said: “The state of affairs in Libya at the moment has had little further impact on our business performance, due to the fact that our involvement with International Oil Companies operating in Libya is related to offshore activity. Offshore work continues and is important to Libya itself. We are currently supporting operations from Malta and are receiving all the support necessary from the Libyan Authorities when required.”

INFRASTRUCTURE New work continues on key infrastructure operators such as the country’s Water Authority which embarked on urgent maintenance work on its infrastructure and

IMPORTS Cargo imports saw a decline during the period of transition that Libya has been experiencing. It was by an estimated 75%, according to ship operators. For example, as Loris Trevisan, chief executive of Italian shipping company, Med Cross Lines, told The Loadstar, September 2014: “The volumes from Italy have declined some 75% during the last three months, mostly due to closure of banks in Libya.” This resulted in a lack of available funds affecting the ability of Libyan importers to make payments or open letters of credit.

REGIONAL INTEGRATION & TRADE Mauritanian trade is characterised by high concentration, a liberalised export regime and an increase in the predictability of the tariff arrangements thanks to a reduction in the gap between consolidated and applied rates. The country had a trade deficit of 16% of GDP in 2013, but is expected slightly to 10.6% of GDP in 2015. The current-account deficit is expected to be brought down from 27.1% of GDP in 2014 to 26.7% in 2015, thus becoming more correlated with the evolution of the trade balance.

Amina BENKHADRA ONHYM’s General Director

Interview Q

ONHYM is the Morocco’s mineral and hydrocarbons company. What is your organization’s history?

The National Office of Hydrocarbons and Mines (ONHYM) was established on 17 August 2005 by the merger of the Bureau of Research and Mining Participations (BRPM) and the National Office for Research and Petroleum Explorations (ONAREP). Since their inception in 1928 for the BRPM and in 1981 for the ONAREP, these two organizations have been pioneers and leaders in Morocco in their respective fields and have benefited from a high reputation among international operators: expertise in research, production and processing of mineral substances and hydrocarbons, relationships and partnerships with operators and investors.

We note in recent years a growing interest of oil companies for Morocco. What is the current situation of oil exploration in Morocco?

For nearly a decade, oil companies have a growing interest for our sedimentary basins due to its underexplored potential. This enthusiasm for exploration in our country has also been boosted by the attractive new hydrocarbons Code enacted in 2000.

ONHYM has signed several agreements with foreign companies. Today 34 international oil companies, including majors, independent and Super Independents, currently operating in different regions of Morocco both offshore and onshore. Thus, many studies of geophysical acquisition, analysis and geology studies were performed on several onshore as offshore basins of the Kingdom. The interpretation of these data has been evaluated the oil potential of these regions allowing further research investigations. The year 2014 will be marked by the realization of more than 15 drills and by a significant investment: 5 billion dirhams (In 2013, the partners have invested $ 2.3 billion dirhams).

What is the current situation of the non- conventional hydrocarbons exploration?

Regarding non-conventional hydrocarbons, Morocco has a huge potential for oil shale. The two main deposits are located in Timahdit and Tarfaya. Other deposits are located in areas of the Rif, Middle Atlas, Souss, Tadla, Essaouira and Errachidia. With this potential, Morocco is ranked sixth after United States, Russia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Brazil and Italy.

ONHYM continues to make efforts to encourage and intensify oil exploration of sedimentary basins Moroccans.

ONHYM has signed agreements with oil companies to test processes: Timahdit and Tarfaya with San Leon Energy and Taqa.

International experts from companies operating in the Moroccan onshore and offshore agree to describe it as potential favorable region to the accumulation of Hydrocarbon.

For shale gas, our regional geology is extremely favorable for the exploration and development. ( Tadla/Hauts Plateaux/ Doukkala/Boudnib/Assa) – Negociations on way with Anadarko and REPSOL)

ONHYM’s Partners, based on the encouraging results of geological and geophysical evaluations undertaken on their licenses, both onshore than offshore, continue their programs. Today, the most advanced in terms of exploration areas will be wells.

Morocco has a prominent place in Africa regarding its potential with the Paleozoic sedimentary basins. The topic of shale gas opens up new prospects for hydrocarbon exploration in Morocco, in areas where research was traditionally oriented on conventional hydrocarbons.

NEW Arab British Trade Directory (COUNTRY PROFILES+LISTINGS) 2015.indd 123

What are the highlights of your Mining Policy?

ONHYM conducts strategic exploration in the whole kingdom by itself or through partnership. It has been involved in the discovery of almost all mines in Morocco With a mining history during which several important discoveries have been made and experience gained, ONHYM is open to all association or partnership with domestic and international operators to explore and/or develop economically exploitable mining businesses. ONHYM regularly relinquishes to the private sector, in the form of international invitation to tender, prospects that it highlights with a view to their development and their exploitation.

Could you give us some examples of ongoing partnerships ?

Actually, about thirty national and international partners are operating in different projects MANAGEM (Morocco), TOLSA (Spain) on industrial minerals, and METALEX MAYA GOLD SILVER (Canada), respectively on the base metals and precious metals, the Australian Kasbah RESOURCES on gold and tin, Archean Group (gold), Newmont (copper, silver), Garrot Chaillac (manganese, fluorine) SANC (zircon).

at the best sites in the north Oman and Salalah grids. Equally promising are wind farms connected to the Salalah System, as well as wind energy produced along the coast in relatively small capacities connected to nearby diesel generation plants in rural areas. Evidence of this potential is evident in a decision of the Rural Areas Electricity Co (RAECO) to set up a 50MW wind farm in Dhofar Governorate in partnership with Masdar, Abu Dhabi’s renewable energy company. This $125 million project, featuring up to 25 wind turbines, is expected to generate enough clean electricity to power 16,000 homes. Construction work on this first ever facility is due to start before the end of this year.

INDUSTRIAL ESTATES Oman signed contracts worth over $150 million to develop two new industrial estates. Hilal bin Hamad al Hassani, CEO of the Public Establishment for Industrial Estates (PEIE), said that the two contracts had been signed, one to develop Samayil Industrial Estate over an area exceeding 7 million sq m at a cost of more than $101 m and another to develop the seventh phase of Sohar Industrial Estate over an area of 8 million sq m at a cost of more than $49.3 m.

The ministry is to introduce the Road Management System to ensure proper and efficient maintenance of the major assets built over the past four decades.

SOHAR PORT & FREEZONE Sohar Free Zone has embarked on the development of the second phase of its sprawling special economic zone adjoining the industrial port on Oman’s Batinah coast. Phase II, covering an area of around 1,000 hectares, represents a two-fold increase over the roughly 500 hectares developed under the first phase — a rise that also underscores the strong local and international appetite for investment in Sohar, according to a senior port executive. “With majority of the sites having already been finalised or leased out, we anticipate that the first phase will be

alestine is a geographical region in Western Asia between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. A strategic location between Egypt, Syria and Arabia, Palestine is the birthplace of major world religions and has a long and tumultuous history as a crossroads for cultures, trade and commerce.

Palestinians are entrepreneurial and their market-based economy represents a unique business opportunity for local and foreign investors to establish successful projects with substantial returns. The Palestinian economy has a diversified structure where different vital economic sectors contribute to the overall GDP. The main sectors are IT and telecommunications, services, tourism, agriculture and fishing, energy, finance, infrastructure, manufacturing, mining and real estate development. The region has enormous potential for developing as a tourist venue because of it the natural beauty and historical background of the area. The West Bank, the larger of the two areas comprising the Palestinian territories, sustained a moderate rate of economic growth since 2008. Inflows of donor aid and government spending have driven most of the gains. Despite successful implementation of economic and security reforms and the easing of some movement and access restrictions imposed by Israel, security measures continue to disrupt labour and trade flows, industrial capacity, and basic commerce, eroding the productive capacity of the economy. The biggest impediments to economic improvements in the West Bank remain the inability to access land and resources, import and export restrictions, and a high-cost capital structure. Palestine is likely to continue to rely heavily on donor aid for its budgetary needs and stimulating economic activity. The commercial activities of Gaza, meanwhile, have suffered enormously from protracted conflict and restrictions, for example, on the import of a wide spectrum of goods deemed to be of “dual use”. In the energy sector, Palestine is working with the Kingdom of Jordan to build its capacity. Jordan’s Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Mohammed Hamid and the Head of the Palestinian Energy Authority concluded a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in February 2015 to promote cooperation in the field

of energy and gas extraction. The MoU also seeks to expand cooperation in the fields of electricity, energy and renewable energy, exploratory drilling of oil and gas and exchange of expertise. The two countries discussed the completion of the integration process in the electricity power sector through linking Jordanian and Palestinian networks via the Arab electricity linkage project.

economic development. “Operation Protective Edge” in July 2014 destroyed Gaza’s only power plant, leaving its population of 1.8 million people in the dark and paralysing the water supply and sewage treatment pumps. Around 90% of Gaza’s water became undrinkable and 75% of its (partially treated or untreated) wastewater flows into the Mediterranean Sea.

According to Petra News, 16 February 2015, they also discussed Jordan’s intent to import natural gas from Gaza shores as the Kingdom will continue providing the West Bank city of Jericho with its needs of electricity from the Jordanian Electricity Network. The MoU included the study of the expansion of the linkage project and the possibilities of building a joint plant to generate electricity using solar energy. Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah stressed that Jordan had considerable experience in renewable energy from which Palestinians could benefit.

The Palestinian government was working to “integrate Gaza back into the national economy” in order to restore it to its previous “significant share”, the minister said. “We will rebuild Gaza despite all the difficulties.” According to Turkish Daily News, 8 February 2015, the minister has also vowed to rebuild al-Quds, another name for Jerusalem, which, like Gaza, is facing a strict embargo. “Al-Quds is the capital of the Palestinian state. And its economy is the economy of the Palestinian state. Therefore, we will rebuild it just like we will Gaza,” Mustafa said.

The Palestinian economy needs to be improved through increased domestic production and not through donations alone, ministers insist. Following a Palestine Business Forum hosted in Istanbul on 7 February 2015, Palestinian National Economy Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Muhammad Mustafa spoke of the need to strengthen the country’s economy and increase the share of national industry from 13 to 25% of the economy. “There has been an increase in unemployment and a drop in national income since we are dependent on Israel. So we need to strengthen our national economy,” he said, adding that this must not be achieved through donations, but through domestic production.

Turkey’s Economy Minister Nihat Zeybekci stated that, “The most important thing we must do for Palestine is this: ‘Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.’ That’s how we look at Palestine.” The minister said he would like to see Palestine “back on its feet,” and “reach a state where it can rebuild itself… I want people, especially young people, children and girls to have a future. If the young people [in Palestine] do not have a dream about the future, then there is only one thing left: violence,” he said.

Palestinians have been facing restrictions on imports, rationing of electricity supplies and the withholding of taxes owed to the Palestinian Authority, all of which considerably hampers economic growth. Observers such as the World Bank conclude that these restrictions are the single most significant impediment to Palestine’s

An International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission visited East Jerusalem and Ramallah in January 2015, to assess recent economic developments in the West Bank and Gaza and the financial situation of the Palestinian Authority. The mission met with Deputy Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa, Finance Minister Shukry Bishara, Governor Jihad Al Wazir, and other Palestinian officials. The IMF Mission head Christoph Duenwald issued the following statement:

PALESTINE COUNTRY PROFILE establishment of the Palestinian National Authority, which, through the Palestine Monetary Authority, has assumed the role of licensing and overseeing banks since 1995. The beneficiaries of micro finance have expanded and the use of microfinance diffused throughout all Palestinian governorates. This, in turn, attracted the attention of donors given the role of micro financing as one of the key elements for development and the fight against poverty. This is especially true in light of the rising unemployment in the 1990s following limitation on the entry of Palestinian workers. The number of lending institutions, registered as NGOs or international organisations, increased remarkably. Concurrently, more financial services have been introduced and the type and size of loans available has expanded.

Dates are well known and considered to be natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s candy. They are popular for their nutritional health benefits. They contain essential nutrients for general well being and boost energy levels that will rejuvenate the body instantly. Date palms grow in hot and dry climates making the naturally dried food essential for human survival in these areas. Date paste is made by pitting then grinding dates into a pulp. Date paste can be eaten directly or used as an ingredient in many different foods. Date Paste is a wonderful natural sweetener and alternative to regular table sugar and even agave due to its fiber content and other nutritional values. Date paste is an alluring sweetener with all the qualities of sugar without any loss of flavor. You can use date paste as a sweetener in baking or a number of dishes. Please visit our website, Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook pages to see the array of recipes that we share to demonstrate how date paste can be used. You can also follow us on Pinterest to see what others have made with date paste. We have used it to make barbecue sauce, raw cookies, smoothies, as a spread, in cakes, and much more. Date Middle East exports ready to use date paste. Our packages come in different sizes that range from 1 kilo packs to 15 kilo cartons packed into 40 foot containers. Our date paste is premium quality, it is all natural, preservative free, and has no sugar added. It is very soft and smooth made only from fresh dates. We export from Saudi Arabia, and we are currently working on expanding our product line to include extra virgin olive oil and raw honey. Our mission is to attractively package our products and share healthy recipes and proverbs on kindness to encourage global peace and harmony.

Middle East enjoys an abundance of dates, you will find dishes that include the date ranging from desserts to rice dishes. We want to bring that range to the western world and make available our healthy date paste so that even moms would be comfortable to put a few date balls into their kids lunch boxes. Date Paste is sweet, wholesome, and was brought into this world with all the goodness you would want from a sweetener including fiber, calcium, and iron.. In our world where sugar is overused and over-processed, date paste is the perfect replacement for sugar and alternative sweeteners. You can substitute 1 tablespoon of date paste for every teaspoon of table sugar that you would have used. The list of harmful effects of refined sugar or sweeteners is long. Keep in mind that white refined sugar is void of any nutritional value whatso-ever. To compound the issue, it robs you of valuable nutrients just so the body can process it. Our vision for Date Middle East is to make date paste available and accessible to the entire world while spreading the concept of peace and harmony. Date paste nutrition facts: Serving size 58g, calories per serving 190, calories from fat 0, dietary fiber 4g, sugars 38g, protein 2g.

Our target market is the western communities and those who appreciate the new healthy perspectives on clean eating. We aim to sell to bakeries, ice-cream/ gelato makers, nutrition bar manufactures, barbecue and other sauce developers, gourmet groceries, restaurants and whole food markets. Our customers are individuals who appreciate healthy eating, the vegan or vegetarian diet, and those who adhere to gluten free and/or low glycemic index diets. Our favorite customers are those who appreciate raw foods and eat our date paste straight out of the box. The

FINANCE The plan to open the stock exchange’s doors to foreign investors is seen as a bright spot for 2015. The Capital Market Authority announced in July 2014 that the Kingdom would allow direct foreign investment on the bourse. Under draft regulations, foreign investors with a minimum of SR18.8bn ($5bn) of assets under management and at least five years’ experience in the business will be eligible to trade Saudi stocks. As the largest equity market in the Middle East, with some 170 companies listed across a broad range of sectors and a capitalisation over $500bn, the opening up of the market is expected to attract strong interest from overseas, OBG commented. Although Saudi Arabia like other Gulf oil producers has significant buffers to survive falling oil prices, it is moving ahead with the pace of diversification.

he Syrian Arab Republic, is a country in Western Asia, bordering Lebanon and the Mediterranean Sea to the west, Turkey to the north, Iraq to the east, Jordan to the south, and Palestine to the southwest. Its capital Damascus is among the oldest continuously-inhabited cities in the world. The modern Syrian state was established after World War I as a French mandate, and represented the largest Arab state to emerge from the formerly Ottoman-ruled Arab Levant.

In English, the name “Syria” was formerly synonymous with the Levant (known in Arabic as al-Sham) while the modern state encompasses the sites of several ancient kingdoms and empires, including the Eblan civilisation of the 3rd millennium BC. In the Islamic era, Damascus was the seat of the Umayyad Caliphate and a provincial capital of the Mamluk Sultanate in Egypt.

At the onset of the conflict, Syria was classified by the World Bank as a “lower middle income country.” In 2014, Syria remained dependent solely on the agriculture sector as its income from oil had decreased dramatically (prior to the war constitutes 40% of Syria’s export earnings) as large part is controlled by ISIS and other armed terrorist groups.

Syria’s rate of oil production has decreased dramatically from a peak close to 600,000 barrels per day (95,000 m3/d) (bpd) in 1995 down to less than 140,000 bbl/d (22,000 m3/d) in 2012. Previously more than 90% of Syrian oil exports were to EU countries, with the remainder going to Turkey. Oil and gas revenues constituted around 20% of total GDP and 25% of total government revenue. After three years of conflict, the deputy economy minister Salman Hayan stated that the two main oil refineries were operating at less than 10% capacity. Syria had an ambitious plan for its energy sector, where it was hoping to initiate large-scale exploration leading to new discoveries. Syria was seeking to make the best use of an estimated 37bn tonnes of oil shale deposits and

TOURISM

At present there are no diplomatic contacts between the UK and Syria.

As of 2012, Syria’s oil and tourism industries in particular have been devastated, with $5 billion lost to the ongoing conflict. Reconstruction is likely to cost as much as $10 billion. Sanctions have sapped the government’s finance with US and European Union bans on oil imports, which went into effect in 2012, estimated to cost Syria about $400 million a month. Revenues from tourism have dropped dramatically, with hotel occupancy rates falling from 90% to less than 15% in May 2012. Around 40% of all employees in the tourism sector have lost their jobs.

Tunisia’s service sector represents 59.4% of GDP and industry 31.2%. Agriculture is limited to 9.4% of GDP, but it maintains an important role in the country’s global performance given the export share of processed agricultural products, notably olive oil, in foreign trade by 10.5%. Tourism is a key sector but visitor numbers dropped following the 2011 uprising. Tunisia hopes to win back many of the Europeans who have traditionally flocked to its resorts every year. Following the 2011 events, unexpected resilience was shown by the key sectors of tourism (+2% in hard-currency revenues) and export industries (with growth of 6%), aided by the depreciation of the dinar (10% against the euro, 6.7% against the US dollar). The unemployment rate declined to 15.7% in the third quarter of 2013 from 17% in the same period a year earlier. Unemployment among young graduates nevertheless remains at a particularly high level by 34%, reflecting a widening gap between their abilities and the needs of business.

In 2013, the manufacturing sector registered average growth of 2.5%. The growth was led mainly by textiles at 3.7%, the engineering and electrical sectors, which are strongly export oriented, as well as a good performance by the chemical industries of 4.2%. Nonetheless, the competitiveness of the industrial sector remains weak and dependent on the exchange rate of the Tunisian Dinar (TND). The expected 2014 upturn in the Eurozone should support a recovery, particularly in offshore manufacturing. Non-manufacturing sectors registered growth of only 2% as a result of a downturn in value added in the oil and gas sector by -1% and a decline of 36% in transit fees on the Tunisian portion of the pipeline transporting Algerian gas to Italy. But phosphate production is not expected to surpass an estimated 3.8 million tonnes in 2013, down from a production capacity of 8.1 million tonnes in 2010.

and they remain concentrated geographically along the free-trade agreements with the EU.

TRADE Tunisia began to open up its economy in the late 1960s. A preferential trade accord with Algeria took effect in late 2013 after five years of negotiation. Negotiations with the EU on the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement will be continuing. At the same time, the authorities are seeking avenues for diversification by strengthening diplomatic and economic relations with non-traditional partners such as Turkey and India. The EU remains Tunisia’s top client by 71.3% of exports and chief supplier 55.5% of imports. The trade deficit expanded by 1.8% GDP compared to 2012 and is a burden on the current account deficit, which reached 8.2% at the end of 2013. The current account deficit, which had been expected to decrease to 7% of GDP in 2014, is likely to remain high due to the worsening of the trade deficit, despite a progressive revival of foreign direct investment (FDI) and tourism. As for logistics, Tunisia’s foreign trade performance is

Much has already been achieved in these fields, especially in satellite and telecommunications, the aviation sector and in renewable energy, and although short-term priorities have been altered to accommodate changing realities, the long-term strategy remains. The UAE’s economy is the most closely integrated into the global economic system of all the Arab economies and successful efforts continue to enhance its business friendly environment, both to facilitate trade and attract new foreign direct investment. According to the 2013 Global Investment Report published by UNCTAD, the UAE achieved inward FDI flows in 2013 of approximately $10.5bn.

UK Trade & Investment (UKTI), the government department that helps UK-based companies succeed in the global economy, set an ambitious target of increasing bilateral trade in goods and services to AED 70 billion (£12 billion) by 2015.

The UK Business Secretary Vince Cable visited the UAE in early 2014. During his tour of the UAE, he highlighted commercial opportunities linked to Dubai’s successful Expo 2020 bid as a catalyst for a further flood of entrepreneurial UK investors. “The UK has agreed to the provision of an AED 2.1 billion (£350 million) Expo 2020 credit to support British companies looking to supply goods and services for the six month-long event, and many of these companies are already looking to establish a local base,” Mr Jallad says.

This extends to short and long-term leasing opportunities with tracts of available land located within the Industrial and Technology Parks for industrial, logistics and service industry purposes. Once again, accessibility is pivotal to the success of these two business parks, with both sites located less than an hour’s drive from Dubai on international superhighways, and minutes away from Ras Al Khaimah’s airport and seaports, customs department and government administration offices.

The north of the country has three well-defined areas: a coastal strip along the Red Sea, the highlands inland and a desert area to the east. The south consists largely of mountains and desert.

In January alone, the deficit in trade of goods and services shrank to £616 million ($923m), which was less than a third of its size in December, official data showed. It is good news for economic recovery which has relied heavily on domestic demand since the middle of 2013. The news shows that the UK has been making progress towards weaning the economy off its reliance on domestic consumers. The UK wants to double its exports to £1tn by 2020 and attract more inward investment in infrastructure projects.

BRITISH CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE

The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) is determined to support UK businesses on their journey to exporting. According to our research, almost half of UK firms have ambitions to grow internationally, so there is no doubt that there are substantial opportunities for growth with our Arab trading partners. By embracing new markets, firms can access a larger customer base and contribute to private-sector growth. The Arab nations are a vital market for UK businesses and provide attractive opportunities for growth in a range of sectors. The BCC is proud to be promoting international trade by working in partnership with UK Trade and Investment and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to develop and accredit British Chambers and business groups in 41 high-growth countries worldwide, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. This partnership is providing British companies with practical advice, support and new business connections each and every day in Arab nations. We are pleased to work closely with the ArabBritish Chamber of Commerce and look forward to developing this relationship in the future. I wish the A-BCC every success in the future.

• • • THE ULTIMATE BUSINESS NETWORK The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) is a dynamic, high-profile and independent business network with Chambers across the UK. Local Chambers sit at the heart of the community, working with businesses of all sizes, and representing all sectors. Our mission is to make the Chamber network an essential part of growing business; we do this by sharing opportunities, knowledge and expertise. We have been growing British business for more than 150 years, providing companies with practical support, useful connections and valuable access to new ideas and innovations. Even though we are not for profit, we are powerfully placed to help those who are. As a member of a local Chamber, firms can join a unique organisation with a strong campaigning voice for the interests of business in Westminster, Whitehall, town halls and Brussels, where we promote pro-growth policies and defend business priorities. Firms can also access a range of services, networking and support from their Chamber, to help them do business every day.

OVERSEAS BUSINESS NETWORKS The Overseas Business Networks (OBN) initiative aims to transform the support available for British companies seeking to do business overseas, starting in 41 highgrowth, hard-to-access markets across the world. It is a crucial part of the drive to double the UK’s annual exports to £1 trillion and to increase the number of UK exporters by 100,000 by 2020. The BCC has two core functions to help achieve this: to accredit the overseas network in line with the UK Chambers so that business can be confident in one global

With investment from both the UK government and the private sector, this initiative has developed a strong and practical platform for UK exporting – focused directly on the needs of UK businesses seeking to succeed in markets across the globe.

EXPORT BRITAIN The Export Britain website provides qualified advice to SMEs that either want to begin exporting, or wish to grow their existing export business. The website showcases opportunities in key international markets and links UK exporters to support available from British Chambers and business groups both in the UK and around the world. It helps growing and prospective exporters navigate through the export journey by signposting the support available to them. Export Britain also provides information on export training and documentation, events and trade missions, and inspiring case studies featuring successful UK exporters. www.exportbritain.org.uk Contact details British Chambers of Commerce 65 Petty France St James Park London SW1H 9EU Tel: 020 7654 5800 Email: info@britishchambers.org.uk www.britishchambers.org.uk

SCOTTISH CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE IN A GLOBAL WORLD Our business leadership, insight and economic intelligence gives businesses the information and knowledge to determine where to invest in Scotland and how to support business growth. I know from our economic intelligence that Scottish businesses have a strong desire to explore business opportunities in the Arab marketplace. Our International Business Ambassadors, operating in key marketplaces around the world, play a vital role in supporting businesses to export and import. This direct business to business support is key in providing practical information on new markets and is creating a global, well connected Scottish business Network, operating right here in Scotland and across the world.

By business, for business defines the commitment and ambition of Scottish Chambers of Commerce to increase our trade across the world.

ABERDEEN & GRAMPIAN CHAMBER COMMERCE BRITISH OF CHAMBERS

Largely as a result of its oil and gas activities, Aberdeen City & Shire is considered to be the most internationalised area in the UK. Export is critically important for the region to develop its economy and support its role as a global oil and gas hub. The Chamber has a strong international capability with a large staff to meet the needs of its members, especially important as the region is unusual with many of its exporters being small companies and many of its export destinations being remote from the UK, emerging economies often reflecting the centres of oil and gas operation. A key activity for the Chamber is to provide support to companies wishing to enter these markets. AGCC provides export intelligence to its members through a programme of events, seminars, conferences, articles in trade magazines and, most importantly, one-to-one meetings. The Chamber has traditionally been a major supplier of trade missions and learning journeys, normally running four to six per year to a wide range of destinations. We also provide seven different international trade training courses. Bob Collier Chief Executive Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce

BIRMINGHAM CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

So that’s why the Chamber is here to help – we prove on a daily basis that the GBCC is regarded as THE ‘go-to’ organisation for business support and services. Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce (BGCC) is continuing to evolve to meet the new business demands presented in the 21st century. It is vital that the Chamber is open for all because the well-being of the region depends on all businesses thriving and that they know they can come to us for help in many areas. We want every business person in the Greater Birmingham area and their employees to know that the GBCC is here to help. Our services include international expertise, translations, export documentation and training plus free legal, HR and auditing advice. Many of these services are aimed at helping boost exports from the region to all parts of the world, including increasingly important trade partners such as the Middle East. The West Midlands has seen the highest growth in international trade, with exports from the region nudging closer to the £28 billion mark in 2014. According to annual statistics from HM Revenue & Customs, the West Midlands is the top region for overseas growth, having the highest year-on-year percentage increase (19.2 per cent) in exports in England. The benefits of export include: Exports contribute about 60 per cent of GDP growth; One in four jobs in the UK is linked to overseas business; Up to 3.5m jobs are linked to our trade with the EU. Exporting makes companies more competitive, productive and resilient – but they can’t do it on their own.

We also have a great reputation for influencing decision-makers. It has been the GBCC’s lobbying service that has promoted and supported enterprises like the NEC, which would not have been established in Birmingham had it not been for our far-sightedness.

BUSINESS SUPPORT POINTING YOUR COMPANY IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION FOR SUCCESS

The GBCC led the government in persuading it to prioritise New Street Station redevelopment. The extension of Birmingham Airport was only possible because the Chamber made a successful bid for £17.5 million Regional Growth Fund finance.

Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce delivers a number of programmes designed to help businesses realise their growth aspirations. It can also help identify other schemes that may be applicable to your particular industry.

It was the GBCC that led the reshaping of the automotive sector through the £45 million Accelerate project, ensuring the supply chain to MG Rover survived the closure of the car company

The Green Bridge Supply Chain Programme is a competition-based fund that will provide grant support between £10,000 to £100,000 to SMEs operating within the green sector or seeking to diversify into the green sector and located within the West Midlands Region.

We have also championed many other causes, including the HS2 project to link London, Birmingham and the North with high speed rail. Our support recognises that HS2 is vital for economic growth and wealth and job creation, not only for the Midlands but for the whole of the country. We have a strong track record of shaping and delivering results over our 200-year history, demonstrating that the GBCC is here for the longhaul no matter which political party is in power or what bodies different governments create to support business. The GBCC believes in the city region’s potential to be the best place in Europe to set-up and run a business. Jerry Blackett Chief Executive Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce

BLACK COUNTRY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

I am delighted to announce that 2014 was another successful year for the Black Country Chamber of Commerce. Over the next twelve months the Chamber will be making some changes to reach our aim, which is to double the size of the Black Country economy by 2023. The gross value added figure for the Black Country in 2012 was £17bn and the projected figure for 2023 is £21bn. This would leave a shortfall of £13bn for us to reach the aim of doubling the size of the Black Country economy. Whilst this may seem like mission impossible, I believe that we can overcome this shortfall and achieve our aim through the implementation of radical reform. Looking forward to 2015 we have the general election coming up. This has created political uncertainty as we are unsure of how this will impact the governance of the Black Country and satisfying the need for radical reform in the region is another issue businesses face. The world is becoming an increasingly unpredictable place with geopolitical events making business planning difficult, and the development of technology means that things are always changing. Innovative ideas are now becoming a reality, including cars driving by themselves and watches capable of doing amazing things. In the Black Country, local authorities are now working closer than ever and the Black Country Chamber of Commerce is working across the region for local business success. Our aim is to help the local economy grow, and creating an environment where the Black Country works together as a collective has created a new set of initiatives for the Chamber. The Chamber is

building on the fantastic work that has already been done to build stronger relationships with the local authorities and continue to deepen our relationship with the local LEP. An example of our success is the doubling of The Platinum Group. This Group is comprised of some of the region’s largest manufacturers and the recognition of the value they add to the local economy helps us become one of the most respected Chambers in the country. We are always looking to find ways to keep our membership up-to-date and we use both traditional channels and new ones through technology to communicate with our members. In addition, we continue to provide market leading networking events and we are the only business network with a local footprint. Of one thing we can be certain: The Black Country Chamber of Commerce, recognised as a leading super brand, will continue to play its part in driving the business agenda forward. Please contact any of the Chamber team if you would like further information regarding any of your member benefits. The team can be contacted on 0845 002 1234.

The initiative is supported by a network of ambassadors, chosen from some of the region’s most successful international trading businesses, who offer free-of-charge, hands-on support to novice exporters. The format of the events to deliver this campaign has been hugely successful and we have been helping with moves to replicate them in Saudi Arabia.

Investment and Enterprise Europe Network. #GETEXPORTING This year we are focusing on international trade and have launched a ‘2020 by 2020’ initiative, with the aim of getting 2,020 businesses exporting more by 2020. The campaign entitled #GetExporting encourages ambitious companies to grow their business through exports and includes exciting exporting initiatives from competitions, top tips, newsletters, to export reports on culture and language from in-market experts, social media campaigns and much more… Statistics show that exporting businesses are 11% more likely to succeed than those which only serve domestic markets, which is why we really must get behind our exporters if we are to stand a chance of achieving the Prime Minister’s target of increasing exports to £1tn by 2020, and help businesses to seize valuable opportunities overseas. This is exactly what our #GetExporting campaign has been designed to do. Whatever the size or type of business you’re in, at some stage you will need expert advice and support to help your business grow. We can help. Phil Smith Managing Director Business West

COVENTRY WARWICKSHIRE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ALGERIA&COUNTRY PROFILE

COVENTRY PROFILE Our area’s economy is much diversified with a strong automotive sector (Jaguar, Aston Martin), aerospace (Rolls Royce, Meggitt), plus new technologies including computer games, specialist software and telephony.

The Coventry & Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce is the Ultimate Business Network organisation that brings together companies of all sectors and sizes to work together, network and thrive. We provide a membership platform for members to develop their company and expand their business potential. On behalf of Coventry & Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce, I am delighted that we continue to have a strong and close working relationship with the Arab British Chamber of Commerce. Such relationships are critical to promoting exports for British businesses. Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce is proud to be the deliverer of the government’s UK Trade & Investment Service which provides support and advice to thousands of companies on ‘export’. The Coventry & Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce employs an International Trade Team which offers export documentation to exporters, letters of credit to exporters and works tirelessly with hundreds of businesses who want to overcome the perceived barriers to exporting to new markets. If you are a company based in Coventry and Warwickshire and are looking for business support or, specifically, support in exporting then please do not hesitate to contact us. Mrs Louise Bennett OBE Chief Executive Coventry & Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce

Coventry & Warwickshire is at the centre of the UK’s transport network and this, with our skills, universities and quality of life, results in our area being a prime location for companies looking to invest in the UK. For more than 150 years, the Chamber has been supporting businesses in Coventry & Warwickshire, based in the heart of England. It was initially set up in 1856 by local business leaders to broaden the region’s economic horizons as the silk-weaving industry was suffering from depression. Fast forward 154 years, and the Chamber remains the local business body to support companies through good times and bad. That can be to help them expand and win new business when the time is right or to simply survive when they fall on hard times. The Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce has done a great deal of both in the past 18 months – from holding weathering the storm events for Chamber members struggling in the recession to helping businesses trade internationally. More than 1200 members have been receiving support from the Chamber and over 600 were helped to trade internationally. Since 2012 the Chamber has also helped 350 companies to start a new business creating new business opportunities in the area. Apart of useful business support numerous members attended our wide range of events to gain new contacts and win new business, while tens of thousands of pounds have been saved by the members tapping into services including Chamber HR, the legal helpline, Chamber Intertrading and Member2Member offers. The Chamber network stretches right across our area and includes five branches that cover Coventry, Rugby, Mid Warwickshire, South Warwickshire and North Warwickshire. It means as well as dealing with regional issues on behalf of members, the Chamber can assist members at branch level by helping to solve their local issues.

228

It all makes Chamber the key business organisation on this patch for supporting and representing business to ensure economic growth for the whole of Coventry and Warwickshire.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE The Chamber’s international trade team gives companies in Coventry & Warwickshire a platform to tap into any market in the world – crucial when exports are seen as one of the main drivers of growth in the next few years. In 2013-14 the UKTI team based at the Chamber helped over 600 companies into new markets around the world, and over 100 of those will have entered the world of exporting for the first time. In this current year of 2014-15 the team is aiming to help a similar number of businesses with a view to achieving an impact of over £30m won in export sales. Trade mission activity will again focus on countries where the Chamber has a strong track record i.e. China, India and South Africa but market research will also be carried out in many international markets through UKTI’s global network of offices, helping to enable significant growth for industry in the Coventry & Warwickshire region.

EAST MIDLANDS CHAMBER PROFILE OF COMMERCE ALGERIA COUNTRY

East Midlands Chamber, the Chamber of Commerce for Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire, supports businesses of all sizes and from all sectors, across the three counties and beyond, helping them to prosper and grow. In doing this, its 3,800 members are able to create jobs, wealth and economic wellbeing. The Chamber helps its members with all aspects of business from export enquiries and international trade services to staff development and training, recruitment support and assistance with legal, HR and financial issues. The Chamber is proud to sit at the heart of the private sector in the region showcasing the successes of great companies such as Alliance Boots, Bombardier, Caterpillar, Experian, JCB, Rolls-Royce, Samworth Brothers and Toyota, along with the myriad smaller but no less impressive businesses in all sectors which make up the rest of the counties’ vibrant economy. The Chamber’s core purpose is to highlight and celebrate its members’ achievements and successes, provide support and guidance to help them realise their full potential and to fight on their behalf to influence decision-making and to make sure the voices of Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire and parts of the wider East Midlands region’s businesses are heard. Nationally during the year, the economy has strengthened markedly, with business confidence at the highest level since before the 2007 crash and full employment appearing in some districts. The Chamber is determined to help businesses do even better and sustain this very important recovery. The past 12 months has seen the Chamber pledge

230

its full support to the Global Chambers project, a joint partnership between UK Trade & Investment and other UK business networks.

There are many highly-competitive and worldclass companies in the East Midlands which are already successfully exporting.

The project, which forms part of the Government’s UK International Business Networks initiative, seeks to build a global business-to-business network with the aim of connecting overseas business networks to UK chambers and increasing the range and quality of services on offer to business.

But, as a nation, we lag significantly behind other countries in having a world-class global business-to-business network which can support both existing and new companies to benefit from export growth.

Developing stronger, more cohesive commercial and trade support relationships between these domestic and overseas networks is its priority. Forty-one key markets have been identified in which a UK International Business Network will be established. East Midlands Chamber has, after surveying members, identified and established seven key areas in which to establish links and an export club, namely China, India, Asean, the Middle East, Central and Eastern Europe, West Africa and North America.

The economic benefits of having such a network can be extremely attractive to businesses in transforming the number of opportunities that are received from overseas and turning them proactively into real exports for companies. The Chamber is working to support this by bringing together existing and potential exporters through its new networking groups, as well as delivering a host of other events and initiatives throughout the year, all designed to get more of our businesses exporting. George Cowcher Director and Chief Executive East Midlands Chamber

The networking groups form part of a wider package of measures to help boost exports from the East Midlands. Other initiatives the Chamber is delivering include a full revamp of its International Trade Forum, which brings business leaders from across the region together every two months to talk about breaking export issues, along with sector-specific events and seminars, market visits and business matchmaking services in some of the 41 key export markets identified by Government.

ESSEX CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ALGERIA COUNTRY PROFILE

ESSEX CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE Essex Chambers were formed in 1996 out of three local Chambers of Commerce within the county and since then have gone from strength to strength to become the most influential business group within Essex operating from offices in Colchester, Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock and representing businesses ranging from sole traders through to national and multinational companies.

Essex Chambers of Commerce are the leading business organisation in the county operating out of three offices across Essex to provide the maximum help we can to businesses large and small. Our strapline is “One County – One Chamber – One Voice” which we feel sums up what we do to help promote enterprise throughout Essex. Our Colchester head office serves the north of the county and our two offices in Southend and Thurrock provide support to the fast growing Thames Gateway corridor, home to the UK’s latest container port at London Gateway as well as the Port of Tilbury. Supporting the county’s exporters is a cause dear to our hearts and as part of that work we have created an International Trade Forum to bring together business, politicians and policy makers to break down some of the barriers to exporting. In addition, as an accredited Chamber with the British Chamber of Commerce we have links to the heart of Government and to the newly developing Overseas British Networks which is creating a series of overseas British Chambers of Commerce around the globe to help existing and new exporters develop overseas markets and opportunities.

We are accredited by the British Chambers of Commerce so you have a guarantee about the services we offer. Our main areas are currently:

EXPORT DOCUMENTATION

politicians at local, national and European levels to lobby on behalf of our members. To find out more contact our Colchester head office. Denise Rossiter Chief Executive Essex Chambers of Commerce

Essex Chambers of Commerce is authorised by the British Chambers of Commerce to issue a wide range of export documentation through our offices in Colchester and Southend. When submitting documents it is important that these are completely correct as any errors can delay processing and result in potentially huge costs to the exporter. With our documentation service we can offer advice and guidance to ensure that paperwork is correct. Essex Chambers’ members receive a 50% discount on the cost of certification of most documentation. We are agents for the Arab British Chamber of Commerce and the Egyptian British Chamber which allows us to check and process all documentation for the League of Arab States. Documents can also be issued electronically through a secure system which can be accessed from your computer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s quick, simple, cost effective and above all saves valuable staff time.

EXPORT TRAINING SEMINARS AND AWARENESS EVENTS

Our international trade team based in Colchester and Southend are available to provide support with export documentation as well as providing training in all aspects of exports and organising events to introduce businesses to the opportunities available to them in overseas markets.

A wide range of export seminars are offered to ensure that company staff at all levels of your business are aware of the export procedures and pitfalls that could result in costly mistakes. These range from the “Export Process” overview through to “Letters of Credit”, “Incoterms”, “Export Documentation Explained” and “Contracts Awareness”.

The Chambers’ members have access to our wide range of networking events across the county as well as HR support services, Health and Safety products, employee healthcare provision, whilst our Policy team is regularly in contact with

These seminars are held in Essex at one of our premises but we also offer in-house training, which has been a great help for larger companies wanting to train six or more members of staff at a time without them leaving their premises. In addition we offer bespoke training designed to meet individual company’s needs.

As well as the opportunity to network with fellow businesses attendees hear from real businesses with experience of doing business in the topic country as well as from overseas Chambers and staff from UKTI.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE FORUM Lobbying and representation is a major part of our work. Our International Trade Forum was set up to bring together Chambers’ members, MPs from across Essex, representatives from overseas Chambers, to meet with Ministers and officials from Government departments such as the Foreign Office and Business, Innovation and Skills Department with the aim of breaking down barriers to exporting. Our launch event was attended by the Minister of State at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Hugo Swire MP. Separately we have also met with the then International Trade Minister, Lord Green and his successor, Lord Livingston.

LOBBYING AND REPRESENTATION Along with International Trade this is an important part of our work on behalf of businesses in Essex. We regularly meet with MPs, Ministers, Shadow Ministers and policy makers to represent the views of our members on key issues around the county and beyond. This is either done in their constituencies or else at Westminster through our Parliamentary Dinners or at special events such as the Parliamentary Reception we hosted on The Terrace of the House of Commons in

GLASGOW OF COMMERCE ALGERIACHAMBER COUNTRY PROFILE

Established in 1783, making it one of the oldest Chambers of Commerce in the world, Glasgow Chamber of Commerce is a modern, vibrant and proactive business support and advocacy organisation. We are the leading voice of business in Glasgow, supporting members and championing the city. Recognised by the business community in the West of Scotland, Glasgow Chamber represents businesses from all sectors and sizes, ranging from sole traders to major multinationals. WELCOME We are confident that 2015 will be yet another significant year for the city and its businesses. Awarded Chamber of the Year 2014 at the Scottish Chambers of Commerce Business Honours, we believe that we have the products, people and resources in place to ensure that as an organisation we can continue to give even greater value to our members and ensure that Glasgow continues to prosper and grow as a vibrant and dynamic international city. 2014 was, quite simply, the most extraordinary year for Glasgow – a landmark year, in fact. HRH Prince Imran, the President of the Commonwealth Games Federation described Glasgow’s Games as the best ever. They surpassed all our expectations and they leave a lasting impression of Glasgow that promises to generate new visitor business for many years to come. They showed just how far our city has come and of what we are capable. Glasgow Chamber of Commerce was a vigorous supporter of the Games throughout. We actively backed the initial bid, we guided members to the business opportunities involved, helped the Organising Committee minimise business disruption and we made every effort to get our members involved in the Games during the 11

234

days of their delivery. In numbers, we held 17 events over the 11 days, involving more than 1,000 Chamber members. We are enormous supporters of the city brand PEOPLE MAKE GLASGOW. The Games showed us just how powerful the brand is speaking about something authentic to Glasgow. The brand has become a central element of the next steps for Glasgow. That must partly be in securing the Games legacy, and bringing hundreds of thousands of extra visitors to Glasgow in the years ahead. And it must partly be in promoting Glasgow for business investment and growth. Glasgow Chamber of Commerce will be fighting hard to help our members grow their businesses and stretching every sinew to secure investment for Glasgow and its economy. Glasgow is no longer a city of regeneration, we are an economic powerhouse able to help make businesses prosper. Glasgow is awash with strong businesses and talented people. We have assets in our universities, in our airport, in our cultural and civic institutions that will all be available to us in making Glasgow one of the most successful cities in Europe. As part of the next chapter in Glasgow’s story, the Chamber warmly welcomed the announcement by Glasgow City Council Leader Gordon Matheson of a City Deal for Glasgow, securing £1.13 billion of new investment in the infrastructure and innovation work of the city region. This has the potential to make a tremendous impact on the city’s competitiveness.

Economic Leadership Board and its industry work streams, on the City Centre Strategy Board, on the Glasgow Employer Board and its Youth Employment Action Group and in several other ways. Last year we launched a senior business President’s Club to mobilise yet more business leaders behind the Chamber’s contribution to Glasgow’s growth. At the Chamber we are always looking for new members of the ‘Away Team’ - Glaswegians overseas in senior positions who are happy to help the cities business community. We want to expand the Glasgow business network with the help of those that are supportive of our mission. 2015 is set to be another exciting year for the city. In May we have the All Energy Conference - UK’s largest renewable energy event while in October we host the World Gymnastics Championships. And in December the Turner Prize, the UK’s most prestigious art prize will come to Glasgow’s Tramway Theatre. We all share the same aim to make Glasgow an even greater place to do business, to work, to live and to enjoy. We are pleased that you and your business are part of this successful team. We look forward to working with you all in 2015. Stuart Patrick, Chief Executive Glasgow Chamber of Commerce chiefexecutive@glasgowchamberofcommerce.com

LONDON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ALGERIA COUNTRY PROFILE

The London Chamber of Commerce is once again delighted to welcome the publication of the latest Arab-British Chamber of Commerce Trade Directory. The annual directory is a highly useful publication which contains facts and figures on key markets presented in an easily accessible way. The London Chamber of Commerce is both an issuer of trade documents for export markets and a promoter of trade with the Arab states and works closely with the Arab-British Chamber of Commerce on both these activities. The directory facilitates our partnership and is a vital tool for businesses, hence our support. There is another reason for our support. Both our Chambers attach great importance to the critical role international trade can play in helping create a safer and more prosperous world. Both Chambers are apolitical organisations and are firmly of the opinion that countries and regions which are economically interdependent are most likely to achieve the peace and prosperity which we all want. Anything that promotes trade, as this directory undoubtedly does, is to be welcomed. Peter Bishop Deputy Chief Executive London Chambers of Commerce

GREATER MANCHESTER CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

From its earliest roots in 1794 through to today’s latest online forums, local businesses have used the Chamber to connect with other businesses, communicate their key messages and create new opportunities. Whilst we have strength at national and international level, our main focus is with the business community in Greater Manchester across its 10 boroughs.

In the last two years, we have ended the joint venture partnership with Manchester Solutions, managed the most successful Employer Ownership of Skills Pilot in the country, produced the pioneering Construction Pipeline Analysis (revamping our Research and Intelligence function at the same time), delivered a successful Greater Manchester Construction Summit, launched our Campaign for Business 2015, created the Skills for Business Awards and the Skills Gateway (with the Greater Manchester Learner Provider Network) and delivered the Great Manchester Business Conference (with pro Manchester). At the same time, we’ve also completely re-engineered our offer of member services, increased the “boots on the ground” in all the local areas across Greater Manchester, broadened and strengthen our International offer and we’ve undergone a complete corporate rebrand. The pace of change has been extremely brisk – it needed to be - but from the unofficial feedback we’ve had from the members, what we’re doing seems not to have gone entirely unnoticed. To be able to deliver this enhanced offer we’ve grown from an organisation which formerly had fewer than twenty staff to one that now has over fifty. For some time, this has meant that we’ve been bursting at the seams at Churchgate House – our home on Oxford Street for over thirty years. We therefore signed a new lease on Elliot House on Deansgate and moved in just before Christmas. Elliot House – like the Chamber itself – has a great history, but viewed from the inside is thoroughly modern and practical. It is right for the Chamber to be able to provide the right conditions for us to be able to develop our service offer and have

appropriate offices to meet the growing needs of our members.

We are the largest Chamber in the UK and one of 53 accredited Chambers that make up the British Chambers of Commerce network.

Crucially, the new office will have a members’ area – something we’ve never had the space to offer before. It will be a place where our members can pop into, have a coffee and use for their business needs. It will also allow us to do more of our events and activities on our own premises, including a number of the important meetings with senior politicians and officials as well as the many international delegations we host.

Joining an accredited Chamber means you can have full confidence in our services. Our size helps to ensure that we have a strong and persuasive voice when speaking to policy makers and our members tell us they value being part of the Chamber community. Joining the Chamber and making the connection is one of the best investments you can make. From day one you become part of the leading business network in Greater Manchester.

Elliot House was originally the Manchester Education Board and has latterly been the temporary home of Manchester Library during the recent renovations. Both these organisations are about improvement, knowledge and providing a platform to grow. This has always been a vital part of what we do too.

• • •

We will always keep our eyes firmly fixed on the future, but at the same time we also recognise the vital importance of our city region’s history. As the new tenants at Elliot House, we will be able to continue to acknowledge both. Clive Memmott Chief Executive Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce

NORTH EAST CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

There is no secret behind the North East’s success in foreign markets. The reason is simple: we make things that people want. We boast businesses that are leading the UK in terms of opening up foreign markets, exploiting opportunities in new and developing economies and, as such, laying the foundations that will underpin the fight back from the economic downturn. In terms of exports, the North East has the healthiest balance of trade of all UK regions and our companies are exploring new overseas opportunities on a daily basis, and NECC is doing all it can to support them. Throughout the recession, it was our exporters and manufacturers that drove forward regional growth, according to trends demonstrated by the NECC’s Quarterly Economic Survey (QES), the largest business survey in the region. NECC is a longstanding advocate of global trade, and understands the opportunities countries in the Middle East present. With 200+ NECC members working across all Middle Eastern markets, our relationship with colleagues in the Arab world is of paramount importance, and a priority for development in the years to come. With a daily Emirates flight to Dubai that has been increased in size once already, and is consistently fully booked, and innovative companies excelling across the spectrum of sectors, the North East of England already boasts excellent long term

relationships with various Arab states. Companies such as Ecco Finishing Supplies, Prima Cheese and Hart Door Systems are but a few examples of the benefits of long term relationships with Middle Eastern partners. NECC is proud to support these and hundreds of other businesses in exploring and developing opportunities, and is delighted to support our colleagues in the Arab-British Chamber of Commerce in the production of this trade directory James Ramsbotham Chief Executive NECC

As a region, we are stronger together – being part of the NECC network you can save costs, discover new ideas and business thinking, develop0 your workforce and influence the business climate through a collective voice.

SHEFFIELD CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ALGERIA COUNTRY PROFILE

The city of Sheffield sits at the heart of a trading region which conducts business with the world. “Made in Sheffield” still means something internationally and is synonymous with quality, integrity and innovation. Sheffield Chamber of Commerce sits proudly in the middle of that activity and is focused on helping the businesses in the region extend that tradition into the future. That drive and focus has seen us improve our support, especially in the international trade area, and we have become an integral partner in developing and delivering the economic strategy for the region. Our members intend to be trading with the world 100 years from now and we will still be supporting them. The products and services will be different but not their quality, integrity and innovation. Richard Wright Executive Director Sheffield Chamber of Commerce

POLICY & REPRESENTATION Our policy and representation activities have been the cornerstone of Chamber activities for over 150 years. Our representational legacy has allowed the Chamber to influence decisions on a wide variety of subjects, including transport, regeneration, regional development, sectoral issues and inward investment. All companies and businesses are subject to business influences over which they have no control - for example, red tape, business taxation and international barriers to trade. It’s our objective to ensure that our members’ voice - whatever the size of their business - is heard when city councils and government agencies are formulating policy or consulting the business community. The Chamber’s policy and representation department enables our members to:

We have access where it counts: Town Hall, Regional Development Agencies, Central Government and the EU in Brussels and, now, even the United Nations. If there is a business matter of particular concern or interest to you, then contact the Chamber - we can help. Members can use our services to pass on their comments and concerns.

STAFFORDSHIRE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ALGERIA COUNTRY PROFILE The Staffordshire Chamber can trace its origins back for over 200 years – the first association was established in 1813 and became incorporated in 1949. It was borne out of a desire from businesses to meet and trade together and for there to be an organisation that represents the interests of commerce and industry thus ensuring that there was a voice for business. There has also been a need for an organisation to deliver services to help businesses to start, grow and succeed. Staffordshire Chambers continue to thrive in this role and has developed a much wider reputation with the recognition of the contribution that the business community makes to economic and social success. The Chamber has the following roles:

•

Staffordshire Chambers is recognised as the exemplar in business support for the county and takes a leading role in influencing and formulating policy as it affects business locally, regionally and nationally. We listen to our members – and membership continues to grow - and provide services that help them to be prosperous. We do all this by providing business support, enterprise support, trade opportunities, training for businesses, over 150 events each year and representation at all levels. The people of the county have access to opportunities and prosperity through the success of the business community. We have a high proportion of businesses exporting and competing with the best in the world, especially in energy, ceramics, advance materials, automotive and as a centre for tourism. We have a diverse business base with leading research institutions. Employers, led by the Chambers’ example, are exemplary employers with a high recognition of their social value and commitment to quality and excellence. Local people and students aspire to start their own businesses in Staffordshire especially on the superb, sustainable business parks.
