The EIA made two investments when it acquired major holdings in two Middle Eastern and North African telecommunications companies, Etisalat and Du.[1] Further investments are known to have been made in Gulf International Bank in Bahrain, the United Arab Shipping Company, and the Gulf Investment Corporation.
