List of companies of Lebanon

Location of Lebanon

Lebanon is a sovereign state in Western Asia. It is bordered by Syria to the north and east and Palestine to the south, while Cyprus is west across the Mediterranean Sea. Lebanon's location at the crossroads of the Mediterranean Basin and the Arabian hinterland facilitated its rich history and shaped a cultural identity of religious and ethnic diversity.[1] At just 10,452 km2 (4,036 sq. mi.), it is the smallest recognized country on the entire mainland Asian continent.[2][3]

Lebanon’s economy follows a laissez-faire model.[4] Most of the economy is dollarized, and the country has no restrictions on the movement of capital across its borders.[4] The Lebanese government’s intervention in foreign trade is minimal.[4]
