The President of the Chamber of Commerce Industry and Agriculture of Beirut urged the approval of a new law that limits to 10% foreign staff employed in Lebanese society, to protect the local workforce.

Lebanon does not have a law in this regard, but only the provisions relating to the use of foreign personnel.

These limitations are required in response to the continuous increase in the unemployment rate among young Lebanese, with over 30,000 graduates entering the labor market every year, while the national economy provides only 4,000 or less job opportunities and to a deterioration in economic conditions.
