The Lebanese Center for Policy Studies (LCPS), in partnership with the Friedrich Naumann Foundation (FNF), hosted a conference titled “Reviving Lebanon’s Economy: Four Sectors in Focus” at the Gefinor Rotana Hotel in Beirut.

The event marked a significant step in addressing the profound challenges facing the Lebanese economy, focusing specifically on the knowledge economy, in addition to the manufacturing, healthcare, and agricultural sectors.

The conference, which was held on November 28, was the culmination of over a year of multi-sectoral research by LCPS and leading experts in the field. The presentations revolved around four Policy Briefs which examined how different sectors of the economy have been impacted by the economic crisis and possible approaches to reviving them.
