Description

There is a common saying among Beirut’s expat community that goes something along the lines of: “If you can understand Lebanon, you can understand the world.” No country can boast the cultural diversity or match the historical complexities of Lebanon. Diversity permeates the political tissue of the country as well as its business environment, with members of varying cultures, creeds, and beliefs living together on a geography of just 10,500sqkm. Tradition and the status quo are often perceived as insurmountable barriers to progress, with the political and economic situation chained to a balance of power that, if altered, risks triggering the end of this delicate balance.

The Business Year’s country-specific publications, sometimes featuring over 150 face-to-face interviews, are among the most comprehensive annual economic publications available internationally.

This 172-page publication covers green economy, finance, oil and gas, industry, IT and telecoms, transport, construction, real estate, health, education, luxury retail, and tourism. The report features dozens of interviews, including:
