The Arabic Business and Management Corpora was assembled by Dr. Mo El-Haj in 2016, and consists of 1,200 texts containing roughly 169,000 words. It is available for download here. The texts are divided into three categories: statements by the executives of Arab companies, news articles about the economy, and news articles about the stock market.
Due to the relatively smaller size of this corpus, only the 100 most common roots (as opposed to 500 for other corpora) of the Arabic Business and Management Corpora are displayed here:
