The 28th Arab Economic Forum

  • December 22, 2022
  • Minet El Hosn, Beirut, Lebanon

This event is going on

The Arab Economic Forum 2022 will be held on 22 December 2022 under the patronage of H.E. Najib Mikati, President of the Council of Ministers of Lebanon, at the Phoenicia Intercontinental Hotel in Beirut.

AEF 2022 will be organized by Al-Iktissad Wal-Aamal Group, Lebanese Economic organizations, Union of Arab Chambers and the Investment Development Authority of Lebanon (IDAL) in cooperation with the League of Arab States.

The Forum will come on the heels of the maritime border demarcation agreement signed lately and which expected to reinforce stability on the borders and pave the way for Lebanon to launch the process of exploration and production in its offshore oil and gas blocks.

The new agreement is expected to help in mobilizing the investments needed to fund the exploration, production and marketing phases as well as to build the oil and gas national supply chain and put in place needed governance to safeguard expected revenues from exports and provide badly needed resources to implement necessary economic, fiscal, monetary and banking reforms that will enhance the potential of a sustainable recovery from current economic stagflation.

AEF 2022 will bring together a large number of high-level participants including ministers, business leaders and investors from Lebanon and many other countries in addition to a large participation of Lebanese expatriates from around the world.

Green Hand

Established in 1999, Green Hand is a Lebanese non-governmental organization committed to protecting nature, preserving cultural heritage, and promoting sustainable economic development and resilient livelihoods.

With a steadfast belief in the power of community-driven change, Green Hand has spent over two decades championing environmental conservation, safeguarding Lebanon’s rich cultural traditions, and empowering local populations through innovative economic models. From restoring natural ecosystems to reviving traditional crafts and supporting farmers, artisans, and small producers, our work places people and nature at the heart of development.

In our continuous effort to create a real, inclusive, and sustainable transformation, Green Hand launched its flagship initiative — the Authentic Aley Strategic Framework — a model program designed to serve as a national prototype for a developed Lebanon.

This elite strategic framework operates through three interconnected pillars:

Environment: Preserving ecosystems, promoting green infrastructure, and ensuring responsible natural resource use.

Culture & Heritage: Protecting Lebanon’s cultural identity by revitalizing traditional knowledge, crafts, and intercommunal ties.

Economy: Fostering a circular and local economy by supporting value chains, dignified income generation, and community-based enterprises.

The Aley District was selected as a pilot region not only for its natural and cultural richness but also for its social diversity and potential to model unity, resilience, and innovation in development. Through partnerships with municipalities, international organizations, and civil society, the Authentic Aley Framework has become a leading example of how local action can inspire national change.

Our vision is bold yet grounded: to build a Lebanon where communities thrive in harmony with their environment, their history, and each other.

A Lebanon where the future is rooted in the authenticity of its land and people.
