Chairman of Arab Bank Limited in Amman who communicated with FIDCO regarding a multi-billion-dollar fund to reconstruct Lebanon, connecting Middle Eastern finance to the PROMIS network. |
Abdul Majeed Shoman was the Chairman and General Manager of Arab Bank Limited in Amman, Jordan. He wrote a letter to George K. Pender of First Intercontinental Development Corporation on November 23, 1983, stating that Arab Bank, along with a group of other banks, would be glad to cooperate concerning a fund to reconstruct Lebanon. Shoman confirmed that there would be "no problem to take care of" a financial transaction amounting to "US$ three billion or more," provided the condition in Lebanon was clear and subject to the approval and counter guarantees of the Lebanese Authority.1
