Inter-Arab Financial Aid
Four states, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Iraq received
over 60% of all inter-Arab aid in 1972 and between 66%
and 81,8 each year during 1960-71. Most of this aid has
been in the form of grants for economic projects. Khartoum
aid from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, started in the fall
of 1967, has given Egypt and Jordan nearly $1.3 billion
in the five year period. Total aid by Saudi Arabia
and Kuwait to all 4 countries equaled $779 million and
$740 million respectively.
The current conflict has resulted in aid commitments
of over $2.5 billion to Egypt and Syria and a probable
restoration of Kuwaiti Khartoum payments to Jordan which
were suspended in 1971. As yet it is not known whether
the back payments to Jordan for 1971 and 1972 will be
made up by Kuwait.
