Abstract
تسعى الدول العربية منذ اربعينات القرن الماضي الى تحقيق التكامل الاقتصادي العربي، وتم عقد عدة اتفاقيات لتسهيل عملية التبادل التجاري وخلق منطقة تجارة حرة وكان اخرها منطقة التجارة الحرة العربية الكبرى والتي لم تحقق إلا نجاحاً محدوداً. ويهدف هذا البحث الى دراسة وتحليل اهم مؤشرات التكامل الاقتصادي والتي تتمثل في نسبة التجارة العربية البينية والاستثمارات العربية البينية فضلاً عن مؤشرات الاتحاد النقدي، حيث ان هذه المؤشرات تعبر عن مدى التطور في مجال التكامل الاقتصادي التام، ومن اجل التوصل الى هدف البحث استخدم الباحث منهج التحليل الوصفي بالاعتماد على البيانات المتاحة عن مؤشرات الاقتصاد الكلي . وتوصل الباحث الى بعض الاستنتاجات وكان من اهمها ضعف التجارة العربية البينية والاستثمارات العربية البينية والتي لا تتجاوز (12%)، و(3.4%) على الترتيب. وعلى الرغم من تقارب بعض مؤشرات الاتحاد النقدي بين الدول العربية، الا ان ذلك لا يعني شيئاً إذا لم تحقق الدول العربية تقدماً في مجال التجارة العربية البينية والاستثمارات العربية البينية باعتبار ان منطقة التجارة الحرة والسوق المشتركة هي مراحل سابقة للاتحاد النقدي وفقاً لنظرية بيلا بلاسا التي استندت اليها التجربة العربية في مجال التكامل الاقتصادي.
