Welcoming the initiative of the Arab Monetary Fund, Mr. Belselah said, "Dubai 2003 seeks to involve Arab institutions and organizations to use the Annual Meetings as a platform to highlight their activities and interact with world financial and business leaders.
He added, "It will be the first time that an Arab city is hosting this prestigious event. The eyes of the world will be on both the United Arab Emirates and the Arab World in September 2003 and it is an ideal opportunity for the region to benefit further from this meeting."
The Annual Meetings of the Boards of Governors of the World Bank Group and International Monetary Fund were first held in Washington DC in 1946. They are hosted by an international city one year in three. Dubai and the UAE were selected because of its highly developed transportation and logistics infrastructure, growing importance as a financial hub and its established position as an oasis of opportunity.
