Creating opportunities
Article Abstract:
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states depend on oil for about 75% of government revenues, and per-barrel prices have remained nearly constant since the early 1980s. However, the cost of infrastructure development has risen dramatically, and GCC states have had to open the doors to private and foreign investment, particularly in the area of project finance. Free zones give foreign investors a particularly free hand and in Dubai, the Jebel Ali Free Zone has become a premier free zone in the region.

New opportunities to invest in Romania
Article Abstract:
The Romanian government has recently begun taking a much more proactive approach to privatisation, and new opportunities for foreign investment are now emerging. The country's investment-led privatisation programme (ILPP) has seen considerable success so far, and is set to enter a second phase in spring 1996, covering another set of companies from a range of different industries. It is also possible to invest in around 1,000 companies which have been privatised through the MEBO scheme.
