Arab West Bank Thriving


In the West Bank, New Cars Signal Economic Growth -Avi Issacharoff

New car dealerships are springing up in the West Bank, reflecting the economic growth.

Today the streets are lined with just-bought models. Banks are offering car loans to anyone who has a job. They can pay 10% down and borrow 90% of a new car's cost.

But cars are only part of the economic development story. A shopping mall has opened on the ground floor of a new Nablus office building. The city center is thriving, the open-air markets, clothing stores and cafes are bustling.
