  • Annual Report 2007
    2 Message from the President CDR September 2007 It was in 1995 that I was honored to head the Council for Development and Reconstruction for the first time. Lebanon was in the midst of the reconstruction program launched by the martyred Prime Minister, Rafic Hariri. CDR in collaboration with the government administrations, institutions and community was able to overcome the successive wars and ravages inflicted on our country since 1975. These wars savaged the nation, the government, the institutions, the economy and the infrastructure. Unfortunately, our astonishing achievements for the reconstruction were not accompanied by a determined reform effort to rebuild the country's public institutions and to restore the ties that bind our society together. Equally, serving society should be the ultimate concern of both politics and reconstruction efforts. Just when Lebanon started to move out of the reconstruction phase into an era of economic growth, the July 2006 war broke out transforming existing realities and changing priorities. Following that, and for the second time, I was honored by the Council of Ministers to lead this establishment that forms one of the Council of Ministers' most active tools for implementation. The guiding principles that were set down by the government required the CDR to work on three parallel axes: • Firstly, participate in the efforts to erase the impact of the aggression. • Secondly, continue to implement the development projects started before the aggression. • Thirdly, reformulate investment programs to conform with the government's reform program. Priority is given to the first of these axes, whereby CDR shall seek to modify some of its programs and projects established before the war, to fulfill the urgent needs resulting from the aggression.

  • LEB/9/004 Development of a Country Profile of Environmental Radiation
    Lebanese Report 2010 Project Code: RAS7018 Project Title: Upgrading Regional Capability to Assess Marine Contaminants in the ARASIA Member States Counterparts Institute(s): Lebanese Atomic Energy Commission - National Council for Scientific Research (CNRS); Lebanon Counterpart Personnel: El SAMAD Omar I - Country Profile: This project enhances the national capabilities to monitor and assess marine radioactivity as part of a national monitoring program. This will be very beneficial as, the monitoring processes and control of marine pollution is a very strategic important objective of the governments, while many national decrees recently issued includes environmental protection and rehabilitation of the marine environment. A- Potential sources and marine monitoring infrastructure : In Lebanon, the Potential sources of pollutants at the Lebanese coast at the Mediterranean Sea are sewage water, Cheka Cement Industry, Selaata Fertilizer Industry, Zouk and Jieh Electric Power plants, and oil spills are considered also one of the pollution sources. Marine monitoring infrastructure at the Lebanese National Council for Scientific Research (CNRS), Lebanese Atomic Energy Commission (LAEC) consists of radioactivity measurement of natural and anthropogenic radionuclides using nuclear techniques, while the monitoring infrastructure of the National Center for Marine Sciences consists of the determination of physic-chemical parameters (temperature, salinity, PH, O2 dissolved, sulfates, phosphates, nitrates, nitrites), bacteriology, Chlorophylls and phytoplankton and heavy metals. The government plan to extend the studies done on the marine environment in order to cover in addition to the radioactive measurements, the organic pollutants PAH and other Page 1 of 9 pollutants in order to determine their effects on the environment and especially on the fisheries. The Laboratory of Pesticides and Organic Pollutants (LAPPO) at the LAEC is involved in the analysis of different organic pollutants (PAH, pesticides residues, alphatic hydrocarbons …) in different sample matrices.

But the moment the hostilities ceased, the government of Lebanon launched, once again, a giant recovery and reconstruction program, strengthened by the strong will of its people and their unwavering resilience, and supported by the generosity of its Diaspora, and its numerous friends in the Arab World and the international community. To update all involved parties on the developments of the post-war recovery and reconstruction phase, the Presidency of the Council of Ministers (PCM) has launched a periodic situation report on the activities of the involved ministries and governmental bodies.

  • Lebanon Is Open to Foreign Direct Investment and Has Many Advantages That Have Encouraged Foreign Companies to Set up Offices in the Country
    Executive Summary: Lebanon is open to foreign direct investment and has many advantages that have encouraged foreign companies to set up offices in the country. These include a free-market economy, the absence of controls on the movement of capital and foreign exchange, a well-developed banking system with strong financial soundness indicators, a highly-educated labor force, good quality of life, and limited restrictions on investors. However, some issues continue to cause frustration among local and foreign businesses, such as red tape and corruption, arbitrary licensing decisions, an ineffectual judicial system, high taxes and fees, and weak enforcement of intellectual property rights. The formation of the cabinet in February 2014 – after a stalemate of eleven months – created a positive climate and led to a slight improvement in economic activity. This spurred S&P to revise its outlook for Lebanon from negative to stable in April 2014. However, political risk perceptions remain high in 2014, given the continuing turmoil in Syria and in the region and its adverse impact on Lebanon. Moreover, uncertainty prevails about the presidential and parliamentary elections being held in a timely manner in May and November 2014 respectively. On the security front, the cabinet took measures to counter security threats, but the security environment continues to represent a major challenge leading investors to adopt a wait-and-see attitude. The public deficit and public debt could be a growing issue of concern for investors, but given the high liquidity in the domestic banking sector and continued growth in deposits, the Government of Lebanon (GoL) should not face difficulties in rolling over sovereign maturities in 2014.

Over 1,200 Lebanese perished in a fierce conflict that we hope we will never again witness. And although over 30,000 homes were destroyed, $2.5 billion in physical damages and unmeasured billions in losses were inflicted to the local economy, the Lebanese never lost their dignity and came through with honor. Mobile telecommunications played a critical role in this tragic conflict. Not only was it the main commm munication medium for those stranded after the roads and bridges were bombed, it also helped transmit vital information via SMS for evacuation purposes and allowed people to escape bombardments, find food and fuel, and reunite with family and friends. It added another dimension to the media coverage through the use of phone integrated cameras and it was used to disseminate propaganda messages across borders.
