Lebanon: Steel
Industry Overview
Consolidated Steel Lebanon SAL,
which was Lebanon’s only rolling mill, shut down in 2002 because of high input
costs. The country depended upon imports to meet its demand for steel. The
International Iron and Steel Institute estimated that imports of
semimanufactured and finished steel products amounted to 443,000 t in 2002
compared with 705,000 t in 2001 and 300,000 t in 1997.
