Y2K: The Middle East and South Asia
A Status Report

Y2K Risk Assessment Task Force:
Chairman: Sam Nunn, former U.S. Senator
Vice Chairmen: Bradley D. Belt, Director, International Finance
and Economic Policy
Arnaud de Borchgrave, Director, Global Organized Crime
William Garrison, Director, International Communications

Mixed signals would be the best way to describe status reports on
Y2K compliance efforts in the Middle East and South Asia. A
recent Gartner Group survey placed the Middle East's readiness
(excluding Israel) directly between the danger and the lower risk
category. The OECD reported the Middle East's private sector is
approximately 18-24 months behind in its compliance efforts.

Based on a recent meeting of the CSIS Task Force and a group of
regional Y2K experts, the embedded chip problem was a near
unanimous concern for all countries represented. Much of the
concern lay in the lack of information available as to the number
of embedded chips and where to locate them.

The following is a status report on Y2K developments in the
Middle East and South Asia.
