Baromed

BaroMed 2008 measures the attractiveness of the Euro-Mediterranean zone, comprising 17 countries of the southern and northern shores of the Mediterranean (France, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Malta, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Lebanon and Syria). It is based on interviews with 315 international decision-makers from all sectors, origins and economic models.

The Euro-Mediterranean zone currently provides significant growth opportunities for international investors and it ranks third among the world's regions in terms of GDP and among the top three for foreign direct investment (FDI).

"BaroMed confirms the strong position of the Euro-Mediterranean zone within the global economy in terms of market size, wealth and investment flows. This gives perspective to the current project to reinvigorate the Mediterranean area," says Marc Lhermitte, partner, Ernst & Young Advisory, France. "The survey also demonstrates the current shift towards the emerging countries, particularly those in the southern rim."
