Arabic Business Dictionary


Book Description

"Business language around the world in the twenty-first century is in a state of rapid change. This creates the need for new business dictionaries that are not tied to the past but rather reflect the new global economy. This is particularly true in regard to an English-Arabic business dictionary, which brings together two economic systems that are far from identical. As the new century unfolds, the Arabic-speaking world is looking to take its place in the global economy, where, for the most part, English is the universal language, while Arabic is in the process of developing business terminology and such related terminology as computer terms." "This dictionary provides Arabic translations of American business terms. It covers many areas of business, such as banking, insurance, real estate, export-import, stock market, and more. In addition, several hundred business-related computer and Internet terms have been included."--BOOK JACKET.
