Lebanese Industry Minister Jo Issa Al-Khoury on the industrial reform, at the National Industry Exhibition 2026: "For more than three decades, Lebanon has recorded a chronic trade deficit of about 30% of GDP. The preference for imports over production contributed to the structural imbalance behind our economic and financial crises." "We are improving the industrial environment and modernizing the administration. In two days we will officially announce an electronic platform for the industry. We are also establishing a green transition unit to turn environmental challenges into production and investment opportunities."
