The Bilateral US-Arab Chamber of Commerce, partnering with the American Business Association – Eastern Province, is pleased to announce a breakfast briefing featuring an expert panel of entrepreneurs and business developers with over 25 years of experience in Saudi Arabia. We invite you to join us as we explore the many facets of doing business in Saudi Arabia.
With a nominal GDP of $435 billion in 2010 ($510 billion estimated in 2011), Saudi Arabia is the largest and most stable economy in the Gulf. The Saudi economy weathered the recent economic and financial crisis far better than other economies in the area, thanks largely to its prudent, conservative economic and financial policies.
American businesses have attained expertise and assistance to significantly contribute to the expansion and modernization of the Saudi economy. Saudi businesses are familiar with the way Americans do business, and welcome offers of cooperation and partnership with U.S. companies.
