All accompanying published data, numerical input, tabulated charts, statistical information, pie charts, histograms & graphics have been analyzed and provided by Pan Arab Research Agency (PARC) & Advertising Monitoring Services.
Readers are advised to note that the figures provided reflect advertising expenditure based on published rates of the various media involved. Not accounted for are the discounts provided, special rates applicable, barter deals, other bilateral considerations nor the commissions accrued to advertising agencies. Whilst the discounts would factor in the arithmetic and computation, MPP-ME believes it will not significantly alter the overall perspective and emerging indicators of this very protracted and exhaustive PARC study.
