Some of the troubled investment projects go back to 40 years. Abdul Rahman Al-Makhdoub, chairman of the executive panel of the Real Estate Share Business Com-mittee, said the panel would not look at unauthorized businesses established before 22/08/1426. "Shareholders of those companies should approach relevant judicial and executive authorities to get their rights," he said. Al-Makhdoub said it was difficult to calculate the amounts invested in those old businesses, as the value of real estate was unstable.

He, however, pointed out that the panel, which has been reviewing 217 unauthorized businesses during the past six months, was successful in solving 21. "This is a good number," he added.

Executive President of Bank Albilad Khaled Al-Jasser said his bank was happy to participate in this humanitarian venture to end the suffering of thousands of citizens who have invested their hard-earned money in real estate share businesses. He added that the banks 68 branches across the country would distribute money to rightful beneficiaries.
