To provide an aromatic polyester which is formed into a film having excellent heat resistance, color, mechanical properties, dimensional stability and gas barrier properties and a manufacturing process thereof; the aromatic polyester comprises a dicabroxylic acid component and a diol component, wherein (i) the dicarboxylic acid component contains 50 to 100 mol % of a recurring unit represented by the following formula (A):  wherein R is an alkylene group having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, (ii) the aromatic polyester has an intrinsic viscosity measured at 35° C. by using a mixed solvent of P-chlorophenol and 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane (weight ratio of 40/60) of 0.4 to 3.0; (iii) the aromatic polyester has a content of a recurring unit represented by the following formula (D) of less than 10 mol %: —O—CH2CH2—O—CH2CH2—O—  (D) (iv) the aromatic polyester has a terminal carboxyl group concentration of 200 eq/ton or less; and (v) the aromatic polyester has an alkali metal content of 300 ppm or less.
