Every one realizes that attracting and foreign capitals to invest in Yemen requires the promotion and presentation of available investment opportunities, offered features and incentives to investors. Relying on such policy, the Yemeni government, represented by the MOM, has adopted a promotional policy conducive to attract Arab and foreign oil companies through holding a number of promotional activities and functions. Such functions brought about good and positive outcomes demonstrated by the attendance of international giant oil companies and the flow of many companies to Yemen. These firms come to Yemen not only to obtain concession areas, searchor oil and make use of the offered features to investors but also to utilize Yemen’s great and buried wealth and deep waters. Yemen, being a virgin land, possesses the potentials and omens for a brighter future and golden opportunities for those looking for real benefits and more successful investments.
