Business Security Information for Countries in North Africa & Middle East

North Africa Overview:
North Africa is very much an extension of the Middle East culture, having predominantly Arabic roots and a Muslim culture, though the atmosphere is religiously more relaxed.

In some countries there is political unrest and in specific countries terrorism is government supported.

Middle East Overview:
A major influence on the world economy because of the control of the flow of oil, the Middle East is a bed of political and religious diffficulties.

Whilst there is a growing desire for western technology, consumer goods and industrial services, the growth of Muslim fundamentalism, anti-western feelings and organised and state sponsored terrorism has made this region and often difficult and dangerous place to trade.
