S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 To engage the Lebanese business community in the country\u2019s economic recovery, Beirut will host the 4th<\/sup> edition of the Emigrants Economic Conference (EEC) on July 17. The event targets the diaspora spread across more than 120 nations and will feature discussions covering topics from economic reforms to the banking sector and investments in Lebanon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event\u2019s website describes Lebanon\u2019s current situation, saying that after years of crises, a window of hope is reopening with the election of a new President, the formation of a government, and the launch of a long-overdue reform agenda. The organizers say that national recovery cannot succeed without a genuine partnership between the nation and its diaspora, which represents a reservoir of financial strength, knowledge, expertise, and international influence. Yet, this potential remains largely untapped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference aims to serve create a platform for dialogue between the diaspora, Lebanese institutions, the private sector, and civil society; reposition the diaspora from financial supporters to strategic partners in the country; present tangible initiatives led by expatriates in various fields; establish mechanisms for engagement between the state and the diaspora; and launch an institutional framework to formalize and strengthen the diaspora\u2019s role in Lebanon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the preliminary agenda, the discussions will cover the government\u2019s plans to address existing challenges; priorities for economic and financial reform; reforms in the public, institutional, and judicial sectors; banking restructuring; the diaspora\u2019s vision and priorities; emigrants\u2019 perspectives on political reform; the investment landscape and barriers; and Lebanon\u2019s role in the digital economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among other topics, global success stories of Lebanese expatriates worldwide will be presented, along with these entrepreneurs\u2019 vision for Lebanon\u2019s renewal. There will also be pitches from Lebanese startups and discussions about the diaspora\u2019s role in globalizing these new businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The organizers expect senior Lebanese government officials to attend the conference, including representatives from the Presidency, Parliament, and ministries; Lebanese expatriates in politics, business, tech, medicine, finance, law, and the creative sectors; entrepreneurs; representatives from civil society organizations; and officials from international institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference is organized by media group Al-Iqtisaad ua al-Amaal, which specializes in business topics. It is sponsored by Lebanon\u2019s president, Joseph Aoun, and involves the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants, as well as public institutions and others such as the World Lebanese Cultural Union (WLCU), an entity that liaises with the Lebanese diaspora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
