Growth of Lebanese economy seen to slow down this year

  • Lebanon: Saturday, November 17 - 2012 at 00:39

The International Monetary Fund said in September that weak government policies have led to a slowdown in investment in Lebanon. The conflict in neighbouring Syria is also hurting investment and slowing policymaking, as sectarian tensions within the Lebanon government have increased following the war in Syria.
