🎯 Key Risk Factors Identified

Economic

Risk Assessment: Lebanon's currency devaluation, banking restrictions and regional sanctions are deepening the cost‑of‑living crisis and limiting access to foreign funds.

For Individuals & Companies: Companies should maintain cash reserves in multiple currencies, use secure digital payment platforms, and limit large cash movements. Employees must avoid displaying wealth, keep valuables hidden in vehicles, and inform a trusted contact of daily travel routes. Regularly monitor exchange‑rate alerts and have contingency budgets for sudden price spikes.

Security

Risk Assessment: Escalating regional hostilities (Iran‑Israel tensions, protests abroad) increase the risk of spill‑over demonstrations, sectarian clashes, or isolated attacks within Lebanon.

For Individuals & Companies: Facility security: ensure well‑lit entrances, install high‑quality deadbolts, add wrought‑iron bars to ground‑floor windows, and deploy perimeter fencing with motion‑activated intruder alerts. Individuals: carry ID, avoid political discussions, do not share location with strangers, keep a low profile, and have a pre‑arranged check‑in protocol with family or employer. Companies should conduct daily threat briefings, limit movement to secure zones, and establish safe rooms with fire extinguishers and clear escape routes.

Infrastructure

Risk Assessment: Frequent power outages, water shortages and potential disruptions to fuel and communications due to regional incidents (e.g., Qatar LNG carrier incident) threaten business continuity.

For Individuals & Companies: Install backup generators with fuel stored in locked, ventilated containers; keep fire extinguishers and smoke detectors operational; create redundant communication channels (satellite phones, encrypted messaging). Employees should keep personal flashlights, spare batteries, and know alternative water sources. Companies must secure critical equipment in locked rooms, test emergency lighting, and rehearse evacuation drills that include fire safety steps.
