The Arab world’s energy wealth is undoubtedly one of its greatest economic strengths. These resources represent enormous value but they cannot create economic growth without strong institutions that actively work to advance innovation, efficiency, and value creation.
APICORP was created by the Organisation of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC) in 1975 as a commercially-focused financial institution that can help provide nuanced and efficient financing options to the Arab energy industry. Over the last four decades, APICORP has worked to raise capital access and enhance the financial stability and performance of the Arab energy industry through an array of strategic equity investments, project loans, trade finance, advisory and research.
