The New Arab Capital: Main Actors and Opportunities for Spanish Companies

The study “The new Arab capital: main actors and opportunities for Spanish companies” was conducted by Jacinto Soler and funded and edited by Casa Árabe, based on the database of Zawya (Thomson Reuters). The study analyses the main actors and funds of Arab capital, as well as their investment strategies, with cases of Spanish companies carrying out projects in Arab countries with financing or in partnership with Arab partners.

In recent years, the sovereign wealth funds of the Gulf Cooperation Council Countries have grown extraordinarily. The events of the “Arab Spring” and the current transition processes suggest new perspectives for investment in economic development projects, in sectors such as transport and energy infrastructure, urbanization, water management, social housing and tourism development. industrial. In this context, the experience and international competitiveness acquired by Spanish companies can be combined with a triangular strategy of expansion into Arab economies at the hands of Arab capitalist partners, especially the Gulf, thus addressing scarcity of European credit, favoring the growth and internationalization of these companies and strengthening Spanish-Arab cooperation.

This event has the collaboration of PIMEC, ACME and Foment del Treball.
