PABMEC will also include specialized zones for agricultural, petrochemical and mining industries. Business, residential and recreational areas will of course be present as a population of 300,000 is expected to reside in the city.
Development of PABMEC has been assigned to Al Mal Investment. The company, an experienced developer with a proven track record, has created a new entity, Al Mal Economic City Holding Company (AMECHC), to develop PABMEC.
