ASCAME, the Association of the Mediterranean Chambers of Commerce and Industry, approved at its last Executive Committee meeting a statement that called for solidarity with Lebanon and its people, especially with its private sector.

The Lebanese private sector, which is mostly made up of SMEs, is going through a very difficult situation due to the political instability of the country, which requires the support and solidarity of the business community of all Mediterranean region.

Due to the current developments in Lebanon, ASCAME calls on its members and affiliated companies to show solidarity with their Lebanese counterparts, particularly Lebanese importing companies who face difficulties in transferring foreign currencies outside Lebanon.
