Anyone Read Arabic?

It would be really great if someone competent could translate this.

  1. I tried Google translate. It said something about a luau August 8th.

    Plan B: Its being forwarded to a person who speaks Arabic. Hopefully he'll get back to you.

  2. Looked up only part I could understand (the English cites) and came up with this:

    http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/wp/2011/wp1161.pdf

    What I REALLY would love to read is:

    AL-Moneeef, Majid (2011) The Evolution of Saudi Arabia’s Oil Policy,
    unpublished manuscript, Riyadh

    BTW: Stuart. How in the world did you come across this? Amazing work!

  3. Is that possibly the research paper by SA's OPEC minister cited in Platt's as stating that Saudi oil production would not be rising much if at all over the next five years while domestic demand would increase?

    I wonder.

    Shortly after the Platt's article appeared, the AEC website was down for several hours. Routine maintenance.

  4. It's a paper by Majed al-Muneef, former advisor to Saudi oil minister Naimi (or maybe still is??) entitled "Saudi economy and the future of energy". Sorry, too long to translate but maybe the author has a version in English...sometimes he does.
