ATFP held its 111th meeting at its headquarters in Abu Dhabi yesterday (September 27), presided over by Dr Abdulrahman bin Abdullah Al Humaidi, chief executive and chairman of the Board, reported Wam, the Emirates official news agency.
The total size of funding that it agreed to provide to its national agencies in all the Arab countries reached $521 million in the first half of this year.

The board demonstrated the activity of other trading services provided by the programme for exporters and importers in Arab countries. It also took note of the latest developments of the work in the Intra-Arab Trade Information Network (IATIN) and the efforts being made currently to update the database available on ATFP’s website atfp.org.ae.
