Abstract

The quintupling of crude oil prices in 1973–1975 caused a giant increase in Iran’s and Saudi Arabia’s oil revenues which are channeled to finance their ambitious five-year development plans. For example, the new Saudi Economic Development Plan (1975–1980) calls for an expenditure of approximately $142 billion. Consequently, Iran and Saudi Arabia now rank as the most rapidly growing import markets between Europe and Japan.
