A one-day symposium was held in Amman on 8 November 2008 by the Middle East Studies Centre in cooperation with the Arab Academy for Monetary and Financial Studies. The papers were discussed in three symposia and the opening and the closing sessions. A number of suggested solutions and policies were designed to deliver comprehensive protective plans for the Arab and world stock markets and help limit losses. The symposium addressed the global economic crisis which began on 13 September 2008 in New York and spread around the globe, its consequences for the Arab world, and the way to have better protection of the Arab and world stock markets. The symposium aimed to understand the fundamental causes of the crisis; describe the resulting situation in Arab countries and the world; draw lessons to avoid any future crises in the Arab world; offer short-and long-term plans to deal with the crisis; suggest better ways for the Arabs to seize the opportunity of the new state of affairs in stock markets, investments as well as the Arab and world trade; and recommend procedural and protective policies for the Arab stock markets and investments.
