Best Answer

The Middle East is of interest for a number of reasons. It exports a lot of petroleum. Three of the worlds great religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, consider the middle east to be an especially holy region (one section is often referred to as "The Holy Land" and that is the most hotly contested territory on Earth). And, the middle east is the primary source of global terrorism. The September 11th terrorists originated in the middle east (specifically, they were Egyptians based in Afghanistan).

What does quarterly mean in compounded interest?

It means that the interest is paid out every three months (quarter year). That means that the interest paid out after 3 months is earning interest for the remaining nine months. The quarterly interest rate is such that this compounding is taken into account for the "headline" annual rate. As a result, if the quarterly interest is taken out, then the total interest earned in a year will be slightly less than the quoted annual rate.
