This is a guide to the Saudia Arabian economy and also to Saudi Arabian life in general. The authors describe the four Development Plans, the last one to be completed in 1990, and show how changes which take place, particularly in the oil sector, affect the economy and the development strategy as a whole. This is the second edition of the text which incorporates the changes which have taken place since the first edition was published in 1984. It is intended for all who are connected with Saudi Arabia, in business, in politics, or simply as visitors. During 1979, John Presley was economic adviser in the Ministry of Planning where he assisted with the preparation of the Third Development Plan. He has also written "European Monetary Integration" with Peter Coffey, "Currency Areas: Theory and Practice" with G.E.J.Dennis, "Robertsonian Economics" and is editor of "Pioneers of Modern Economics in Britain Volumes 1 and 2" with David Greenaway.

This study reflects the current state of banking in the Arab Gulf and activity in the region's financial markets. The book covers Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. Each chapter examines development of commercial banking, monetary policy and the role of the central banks, and the role of specialized financial institutions. The role of Gulf finance in international financial markets is also considered, together with the involvement of Western banks in the Gulf. The financial climate in the Arab Gulf has changed considerably in recent years reflecting economic and political development. The recession brought about by the oil price falls of the 1980s is now over, and the proposed ending of the Gulf War has brought new confidence. Uncertainties remain however, and the region's financial institutions have been forced to consolidate and adapt to the new climate. All of these issues are discussed in this book.
