  • Capital Investment Programme
    Capital Investment Programme Report L17023-0100D-RPT-PM-01 REV 7 Capital Investment Programme INTRODUCTION Since the start of the Syrian crisis, economic growth in Lebanon has slowed down sharply and the number of people living in Lebanon has increased sharply, with an estimated 1.5 million displaced Syrians entering Lebanon during 2011-2017. Despite the major reconstruction of Lebanon’s infrastructure that took place subsequent to the end of the 15-year conflict in 1990, with low levels of public investments after 2000, due in part to fiscal and debt limitations and delays in project implementation, Lebanon’s infrastructure still had significant gaps in various infrastructure sectors when the Syrian crisis evolved. The Syrian crisis placed increased pressure on Lebanon’s infrastructure, leading to deterioration of existing infrastructure, in particular in transport, and a widening of the gaps, in particular in the electricity sector. A sharp expansion of investments in Lebanon’s infrastructure is key to and a recovery of economic growth in the medium term, with increased private sector productivity, and the creation of employment opportunities in the short term. The short-term priority is the completion of projects for which for which external financing has already been secured. These are not part of the Capital Investment Programme (CIP). The CIP is a key pillar of the Government’s vision for stabilization and development against the background of the Syrian crisis and the effects this has had on Lebanon. It comprises new projects for infrastructure investment that will eliminate the gaps that exists between the demand and need for infrastructure services, in all sectors, and the supply, and reduce the cost to the economy of the lack of adequate infrastructure.

  • Cretaceous Transition in Mount Lebanon
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by I-Revues Carnets Geol. 16 (8) Some steps toward a new story for the Jurassic - Cretaceous transition in Mount Lebanon Bruno GRANIER 1 Christopher TOLAND 2 Raymond GÈZE 3 Dany AZAR 3, 4 Sibelle MAKSOUD 3 Abstract: The stratigraphic framework of the Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous strata of Lebanon that dates back to DUBERTRET's publications required either consolidation or full revision. The preliminary results of our investigations in the Mount Lebanon region are presented here. We provide new micro- paleontological and sedimentological information on the Salima Oolitic Limestones, which is probably an unconformity-bounded unit (possibly Early Valanginian in age), and the "Grès du Liban" (Barremian in age). Our revised bio- and holostratigraphic interpretations and the new age assignations lead us to em- phasize the importance of the two hiatuses in the sedimentary record below and above the Salima, i.e., at the transition from the Jurassic to the Cretaceous. Key Words: Tithonian; Valanginian; Barremian; hiatus; unconformity; Salima Oolitic Limestones; "Grès du Liban"; amber; Balkhania. Citation: GRANIER B., TOLAND C., GÈZE R., AZAR D. & MAKSOUD S.

  • Request for an Inspection on the Impacts of the Bisri Dam Project in Lebanon
    June 24th, 2019 To: Executive Secretary, the Inspection Panel 1818 H Street NW, MSN 10 - 1007, Washington, DC 20433, USA REQUEST FOR AN INSPECTION ON THE IMPACTS OF THE BISRI DAM PROJECT IN LEBANON We, the Lebanon Eco Movement (LEM), are a network of 60 environmental NGOs advocating for sustainable development and the protection of the environment in Lebanon. The movement co- founded the Save the Bisri Valley Campaign in collaboration with the affected communities and a group of experts. LEM is also a member in the Arab Watch Coalition. In this request, we represent a group of residents and landowners whose addresses and signatures are enclosed below. We are also attaching a copy of a new petition that gathered more than 30,000 signatures (Annex Z.b). Our network submitted an earlier request for inspection on June 6th, 2018, and the Panel did not recommend investigation. While we acknowledge the Panel’s previous efforts to address our concerns, we believe that the first complaint was not satisfactorily answered. The Recommendation Report given by the Panel focused more on ensuring a checklist of studies is filled rather than evaluating the validity of the studies and, most importantly, the grave social, environmental and economic harms the project poses to Lebanon. Consequently, the Panel accepted inaccurate information and factual discrepancies provided by the Bank Management. Additionally, given the emergence of new evidence and circumstances, we are submitting a new request for inspection. Our concerns have been already conveyed to the relevant authorities and to the World Bank Management in Beirut. However, the concerns were either disregarded, or addressed with neglect and delay.

  • Real Estate Index 2019
    Prepared Exclusively for REAL ESTATE INDEX Executive Summary 2019 Prepared Exclusively for REAL ESTATE INDEX Executive Summary – 2019 About the Real Estate Index InfoPro has monitored the residential real estate market in Lebanon for the past 20 years. Its databases contain data about every building developed during that period in Greater Beirut and the Mount Lebanon area. Data for buildings under development is captured through extensive ground surveys, desk research, and then through interviews with developers. InfoPro, based on the compiled data developed the Real Estate Index, a set of indicators that tracks new residential apartments over time by providing the following set of indicators: • Price Index • Inventory Index • Newly Announced Properties Index. These indices are segmented across Administrative Beirut, Beirut Suburbs, and the coastal areas/main urban centers of Mount Lebanon: Metn, Baabda, Kesrouan, and Aley. • The Price Index provides the average asking price per square meter across caza, region, and sub-area. It is calculated as the average price of units in an area. The baseline year is 2018, with a nominal value of 100. The value of each half-year is plotted to show fluctuations in real estate prices across sub-areas. • The Inventory Index contains the number of buildings with apartment units available for sale across caza, region, and sub-areas. • The Newly Announced Properties Index has the complete supply of new buildings and apartment units launched across every six months. The index tracks average prices and sales of apartment units launched in that time frame only. The indices are presented in an online dashboard format and are updated completely twice per year.
