Middle East Leaders Forum 2009, "Challenges and Opportunities" - Order Video Package (DVD)

Countries in the GCC ramped up public spending on major infrastructure projects earlier this year in an attempt to battle the fallout from the world financial crisis, which sent the world's biggest industrial nations into recession. Public spending and liquidity support to financial sectors have helped contain the impact of the world financial crisis on the broader economy but drew down current account reserves, built up in the oil boom years, to a projected $50 billion in 2009 from $380 billion in 2008. With higher oil prices and the anticipated re-emergence of global demand, oil revenues are expected to increase, allowing oil exporters to rebuild their international reserve positions by over $100 billion in 2010.
