(English) Despite the difficult economic situation in Lebanon and the region, opportunities for joint partnerships with Lebanese and foreign investors worldwide still exist:
Mergers and Acquisitions in the Local Market
As the economic and financial situation for the various local businesses becomes more difficult, the option of sustainability renders itself impossible without external support for a large number of SMEs.
As such, many investors looking to diverge their portfolios will find a shared opportunity in investing in such businesses, while at the same time providing them with a rescue plan that will allow them to continue their operations.
The cooperation opportunities can be in the form of mergers, acquisitions, capital injections, external partnerships for export support, or any other based on the synergies and cost reductions possible.
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
