Still no date for crucial donor conference

Lebanon puts itself back at the hub

Lebanon puts itself back at the hub

By James Featherstone

The proposed donor conference for Lebanon has been in the planning stage since mid-2005. Initially slated to happen in the first quarter of 2006, it failed to materialize. The meeting was intended to bring together representatives of Gulf states, western countries and supranational lenders such as the IMF and World Bank.

The conference, informally known as Paris III, or even Beirut I if suggestions that it is held in the Lebanese capital materialize, will be intended to confirm the international community’s intention to support the country’s economy by donor lending.
