Export marketing to the Arab world

This book serves as an introduction to a recent, overwhelming development in the world's capital markets: the rapid increase in global offerings of securities. It explores four different approaches that can be adopted in trying to accomplish multinational offerings of securities in a world where different countries have very different regulatory approaches to the offering & trading of securities, namely: full compliance with requirements of multiple legal systems (registered public offerings in multiple jurisdictions); avoidance of the most burdensome requirements (private placements & other exemptions); reconciliation (permissive regulatory exemptions in one country, including hand-tailored exemptions or by rule); deferral to one country's rules (i.e. of the country with dominant contacts with the issuer). For this purpose the laws & practices of the U.S.A., U.K., Continental Europe, Japan, Canada & Mexico - most of the world's major capital markets - are considered. The contributing authors practice extensively in the area of cross-border security offerings.
