Title:

Note on Trade in the Persian Gulf (Communicated by the Board of Trade)

Scope & Content:

Note on trade in the Persian Gulf by the Board of Trade, divided into the following sections:

a) General (revised to 26 July 1928);

b) Koweit [Kuwait] and Muscat (revised to 26 July 1928);

c) The position of British Trade in the Gulf (to 30 June 1928).

Section 'a' discusses the counterbalance of the German and Russian threat to British trade ascendency, the impact of economic autonomy in Persia, and the extinction of Turkish sovereignty in the Persian Gulf. It includes a table providing statistics on the proportion of Persian trade as divided between the chief participating countries, with analysis of the proportions of trade, and the amount of which is oil. Additional figures for shipping are provided. The advantages for the provision of railway communication in terms of trade are also given.

Section 'b' provides figures for trade and shipping in Kuwait and Muscat covering 1925-27.

Section 'c' covers the British trade position, and whether a political move such as a formal reassertion of interest in the Gulf by His Majesty's Government would present any advantage. Tables provide import and export figures for the United Kingdom 1926-27, and the value of imports into Persia and Iraq 1925-27.
