H.E. Riad Salame with Injaz students
…The work of Injaz is in alignment the view the Central Bank has for Lebanon… One of Lebanon s major problems is unemployment and loss of his number one resource: human resources…leaving the country. Initiative is Lebanon s base.... It is extremely important to encourage initiative and this is why the central bank is working to change the culture to change investment schemes and create new funding possibilities to encourage start ups in all domains. We need to create an active exchange market where real exchanges happen because this helps initiative and entrepreneurs…I hope one day to see these student companies grow in the future. I am confident that you will get the needed support.

Together we can help Lebanese youth succeed in school, at work, and in life.
Developing countries which invest in be_er educa;on, healthcare, and job training for their record numbers of young people between the ages of 12 and 24 years of age, could produce surging economic growth and sharply reduced poverty, according to a new World Bank report launched at the Bank's Annual Mee;ngs in Singapore.
