Arab economic integration

Economic integration underpins comprehensive integration by providing for its material needs. Arab economic integration often features in official discourse. It has been the aspiration of millions and the target of ambitious projects since the 1950s. Post-independence Arab States quickly began to conclude economic integration agreements, motivated by regional political and security-related concerns and by considerations of international trade and finance. The ensuing years were filled with sweeping regional concords and a succession of broken promises.
