Arab businessman: Gaza is fertile ground for investment

Thirty-nine businessmen from different Arab countries arrived on Thursday in Gaza City to survey the investment environment and discuss launching new projects in the strip, where 250 businessmen were scheduled to attend an international investment conference in Gaza City.

However, the closure of Rafah crossing prevented their attendance.

He told PIC reporter that "investment elements are available in Gaza to enable Arab businessmen to invest especially in housing and industry fields.

" He pointed out that Gazans succeeded in developing and advancing production in the strip despite the Israeli continued siege.

During Cairo conference for investment, we approved the launch of a number of projects in Gaza strip and we came here to put the foundation stone for some of the selected projects, he explained.

The Arab committee for Gaza Construction, established in 2009, would keep organizing such meetings to consolidate investment in Gaza and to set up projects in various fields.
