Arab Economic Forum

Under the patronage of the President of the Council of Ministers, H.E. Tammam Salam, Al-Iktissad Wal-Aamal Group is organizing the 24th edition of the "Arab Economic Forum", in collaboration with the Central Bank of Lebanon, the Association of Banks in Lebanon and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) a member of the World Bank Group on the 12th and 13th May 2016 at the Phoenicia Hotel in Beirut.

The Forum is expected to attract a large number of senior officials, business and finance leaders, banks, investment groups, and economists and experts from the Arab world and other countries.

This year’s Forum is of particular importance as it is being held against the background of the major challenges that face countries of the region and their economies as a result of the climate of political instability in some of these countries and the sharp decline in oil prices, and the impact of all this on economic growth, the investment climate and shrinking employment opportunities.
