WHY
LEBANON?
LEBANON, WITH ITS OFFICIAL NON-INTERVENTIONIST STANCE
TOWARD PRIVATE INVESTMENTS, OFFERS ONE OF THE MOST
LIBERAL INVESTMENT CLIMATES IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

The economic openness of the country is harnessed

through the absence of legal restrictions on the
entry or exit of many firms, encouraging free market
competition and furthering the development of the
private sector. Liberal trade and investment policies
have allowed foreign direct investments to account
for a considerable share of Lebanese GDP.

11 WHY LEBANON?
A NUMBER OF FACTORS MAKE LEBANON
A KEY PLAYER AND A PRODUCTION HUB
FOR CREATIVE INDUSTRIES IN THE MENA
REGION.
Access to talent:
Characterized by a skilled, multi-talented and
competitive workforce due to its advanced
education system and significant number of
universities.
Strategic location:
Positioned at the intersection of Europe, Asia
and Africa, Lebanon can provide companies
easy access to regional and global markets.
Exceptional lifestyle:
Moderate climatic conditions, rich cultural
heritage and diversity in communities.
Sophisticated banking system:
No restrictions on the inward and outward
movement of capital, banking secrecy and
moderate tax rates.
MIRROR TO A CITY
All of this has been accelerated by the introduction
of Circular 331 by Lebanon's Central Bank:
In August 2013, Lebanons Central Bank, Banque du
Liban (BDL), issued Intermediate Circular 331 which
aims to inject US 400$ million into the development
of Lebanons knowledge economy and providing
critical funding to the countrys promising startup
ecosystem.
Initiatives like Intermediate Circular 331 reflect the
belief that Lebanon has the potential to produce
ideas and transform them into successful businesses,
scaling up the whole economy and decreasing
unemployment.
Intermediate Circular 331 is an opportunity to boost
Lebanons knowledge economy sector and support
human capital, and has the potential to save the
country from economic stagnation.
Lebanon is an ideal candidate for a knowledge
economy, which is an economy typically directed at
the production, distribution and use of knowledge
and information.
By making funding accessible, BDL C331 aims to both
retain local tenant and to attract expatriate talent
to setup shop in Lebanon.
The funds will be primarily deployed to develop a
technological and digital sector in the country.

Currently there are more than 1,500 companies

working in the ICT field in Lebanon. According to
The Future of Lebanons Knowledge Economy
report issued by the UK Lebanon Tech Hub in June
2016, the ICT sector is expected to create 25,000
new jobs by 2030. Moreover, the new jobs created
as well as the spill-over effects on the various
sectors in general will contribute in an additional
US 7$ billion to Lebanons GDP by 2025.

BDD aims to create a community of experts that

will connect entrepreneurs, answer all their
needs, and link them with established companies
and industry decision makers. Creating BDD will
help them build new companies offering services,
applications and tools for the digital economy in
Lebanon, its surrounding region and beyond.
