International financial institutions have promised $38 billion more to four Arab countries trying to transition to democracy, nearly doubling a previous pledge.
French Finance Minister Francois Baroin announced the pledge Saturday at the second day of talks involving finance ministers and central bankers from the Group of Seven nations, plus Russia, in Marseille, France.
He said the $38 billion will be made available to Tunisia, Egypt, Morocco and Jordan from 2011 to 2013.
