The Lebanese Republic is a small, mostly mountainous country in Western Asia, on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. A small country with a population of approximately four million, it was created when the French mandate expanded the borders of the former autonomous Ottoman Mount Lebanon district, forming in September 1926 the Lebanese Republic. Lebanon subsequently became an independent country in 1943.
A demographically and geographically highly diverse country, Lebanon follows a special political system known as confessionalism, distributing power as evenly as possible among its various religious sects, of which more than 18 are officially recognized. No accurate numbers on the distribution of the population per sect are available since the only census was conducted in 1932. It's officially languages are Arabic and French. Armenian and English are also widely spoken and understood.
The flag of Lebanon features a cedar in green against a white backdrop, bounded by two horizontal red stripes along the top and bottom. A combination of temperate climate, many historic landmarks and world Heritage sites continues to attract large numbers of tourists to Lebanon annually, despite of its political instability. In addition, Lebanon's reputed banking system and capitalist economy, largely unique to the region, have given it significant economic status among Arab countries. The thriving tourism and banking activities have naturally made the services sector the most important pillar of the Lebanese economy.
Lebanon's lack of raw materials for industry and its complete dependency on Arab countries for oil have made it difficult for the Lebanese to engage in significant industrial activity. As such, industry in Lebanon is mainly limited to small businesses concerned with reassembling and packaging imported parts.
Lebanon is ideally suited for agricultural activities in terms of water availability and soil fertility, as it possesses the highest proportion of cultivable land in the Arab world. Ironically though, Lebanon does not have a large agricultural sector.
There are approximately 16 million people of Lebanese descent spread all over the world, Brazil hosting the largest Lebanese community. However Argentina, Australia, Canada, Colombo, Mexico and Venezuela also have the large Lebanese communities.
Lebanon lacks a social development vision for the country. Whereas some progress has been made to understand and measure poverty, through partial surveys and social mappings, the country still lacks a national poverty line and poverty profile, as well as a poverty strategy and poverty reduction targets. Recently, the two national surveys that were conducted by the Ministry of Social Affairs and UNDP (1998 and 2006) for the years 1995 and 2004 and the Poverty, Growth and Income Distribution report have produced detailed information on national living conditions, including on the poor. The main economic challenge of the government is to address fiscal imbalances, as chronic fiscal deficit and debt continue to threaten macro-economic stability and undermine growth prospects. At the end of 2002, a series of measures to address the issue of the public debt were elaborated and presented to a donor's conference, Paris II. The financial inflows that resulted from the conference coupled with two schemes with the central bank and Lebanese commercial banks represented a package of over $10 billion that was mainly used to replace part of the high interest short-term debt with low interest long maturity debt. As a consequence, market sentiment improved, interest rates went down and the Lebanese economy started to recover in 2003 and 2004, with real GDP growth of 3 and 5 percent respectively.
