Ok, what is that last part saying?



The last part of the article!? Post 186???

Add Singapore to the list....Singapore's a heavy hitter...

Singapore businesses have been leveraging on the Jordanian port of Aqaba as a launch pad for doing business in Iraq.

While actual figures for Singapore firms are not readily available, the latest global data shows that Aqaba handled nearly US$12 billion of products bound for Iraq in 2004.

The Singapore Business Federation says companies have been taking advantage of the many opportunities presented by the reconstruction of Iraq from services to infrastructure to procurement of supplies.

The Jordanian port has been serving Middle East countries for many years.

With reconstruction now starting, Iraq is now ready to do business and it has already done so through the port of Aqaba in Jordan.

Transit trade to Iraq through Aqaba more than tripled from US$3.6 billion in 2000 to US$11.7 billion in 2004.

Cody Lee, Assistant Director (Middle East), Singapore Business Federation, said: "Right now, the country is starved of consumer goods, supplies that are needed in reconstruction. We can offer our services, our expertise in infrastructure. And most importantly we can actually help them to procure the supplies that they need for the reconstruction purpose. And we know that the Iraqis have gone to China in a big way, in big procurement affairs. They buy up to billions of dollars of equipment, basic materials and commodities for the reconstruction purposes."

But the seaport city of Aqaba wants to go beyond just being a lifeline for Iraq.

It is transforming itself into the Singapore-equivalent of a Marina Bay Resort to become a tourist haven, and create more than 70,000 jobs.

So far, Aqaba has attracted more than US$8 billion of investments since developing a Special Economic Zone in 2001.

Most of these are in property and resort developments by investors from the Gulf.

Some Japanese and Indian companies can also be found in the heavy industry.

Asians have been known to be conservative in investing in the area, since Aqaba is close to the volatile Middle East region.

But Jordanian officials say there's little to worry.

Saleh Kilan, Economic Development and Investment Commissioner, Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority, said: "It doesn't really put us at risk. We're like a stabilising force. We are the moderate voice of all the countries around us. They all lean on us. If you look at the history of Jordan, the history of the regime of Jordan, we're the haven, we call it the security haven of the Middle East. Most of the people who work here, they really enjoy it. They invest up here and they make money up here."

Besides resort and property developers, Aqaba is also looking for banks and financial institutions to set up base in the area.

The plan is to make the place a regional financial centre and create jobs for lawyers and accountants.

Of course...just what we need--more jobs for lawyers and accountants!!

Hey Suzie this is a great find. Where can I get another translation on this.

That one sentence makes no sense as is.
