Mr. Edmund O'Sullivan, chief economist and Editorial Director of the MEED magazine (Middle East Economic Digest), estimates the value of the currently ongoing real estate projects in the Gulf States at $633.2 billion. Mr. O'Sullivan expects this huge figure to further grow in 2006 due to the direction of oil revenues into major tourism, residential and commercial projects.
