Hlileh also gave a lecture on the Palestinian Economic reviewing the efforts of various public and private entities in the provision of an economic environment and a sustainable development that are supportive of projects so as to fit the global market and its requirements to expand the investor base, in spite of the obstacles imposed by Israel in front of economic activity, and its control over natural resources, crossing points and imports in terms of quality and quantity.

Hlileh pointed out that the Palestinian market has been witnessing a continuous presence of foreign investment in the recent years, which is what makes it an economic environment that has various and modern opportunities that benefit the Palestinian economy and investors at the same time.
