Privatization and the Communication Sector in Lebanon
Workshop, July 12, 2000 Beirut-Lebanon

Organized in collaboration with the Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAF), The Lebanese Center for Policy Studies conducted a workshop on "Privatization and State Regulation: The Telecommunication Sector." The workshop addressed the process and strategy of privatization in Lebanon in its current status and in light of the recently adopted privatization law. The workshop focused on the telecommunication sector as one of the first proposed sectors to be privatized, and featured presentations on the institutional requirements and on the economic and social impacts of privatizing telecommunications in Lebanon.

The workshop was inaugurated by the Minister of Post and Telecommunications, Dr. Issam Naaman. A large number of experts and researchers were present, engaging in a national debate on an important topic of relevance to Lebanon's economic and social development.
