Abha's Chamber of Commerce and Industry organized here Sunday evening a lecture on "The impact of WTO on the Saudi private sector." The lecture was delivered by Dr Abdul-Wahab Al-Qahtani, the member of the academic staff at King Fahd University for Petroleum and Minerals. He defined the concept of WTO and its role as well as its positive and negative impacts on the economic sectors like agriculture, insurance, petrochemical industries, governmental projects and tourism. Dr Al-Qahtani called for adopting policies that protect the Saudi economy from the unfair competition notably after the world economic crisis.
