AL MAL GTM

Global Trade Matters and Almal (ALMAL/GTM), a for-profit private sector think tank, was created in 2005 in order to broaden the discussion about economic policy to include the interests of the private sector and the intellectual classes while ensuring the enhancement of the underprivileged. ALMAL/GTM conducts research and engages in advocacy in areas such as social, economic and political policies. Its aim is to promote national economic development in a sustainable and socially balanced manner. ALMAL/GTM strives to promote "economic education" of the general public and the private sector while identifying and advocating efficient economic policies through studies, researches, conferences, roundtable discussions, open debates, seminars, publications and newsprint. Its areas of interest include different topics such as investment, real-estate, micro-finance, banking, trade, energy, agriculture, tourism, venture capital, bilateral and multilateral trade agreements and the environment.
