The ministry of Justice has a Commercial Register site which provides the ability to search within company registers. The register can be browsed by submitting a blank search (space). There is no way to download the data as bulk. We found results for companies registered in 2015, yet there is no metadata or any other means to check how frequent the information is updated. The site and its content have a non-open license.

http://cr.justice.gov.lb/search/res_list.aspx

Here is an example for one of the results http://cr.justice.gov.lb/search/result.aspx?id=1000119598

It shows the Name of company, Unique identifier of the company (1019890 here), Company address, as well as other information such as capital, date of registration, its legal form and names of equity holders.

66 Land Ownership


Land ownerships are registered by dlrc.gov.lb, however, they do not make such data available to the public. It is not available online, and it is most likely that only owner of a land or his legal representatives can get the ownership documents of their own land offline. We were not able to find any means for the public to request lists of all lands and their owners.

The Meteorological Department of the Lebanese Directorate General of Civil Aviation publishes daily weather forecast in the form of a widget here (http://www.dgca.gov.lb/index.php/en/meteo-en), however, wind speed is only available for the current day, and we could not find historical data. Precipitation is not available, only equivalent icons and humidity is shown for the current day only.

99 Government Spending


There is a monthly aggregated report of government expenditure. There is no report that publish data per transaction. All data is copyrighted under the 2010 Ministry of Finance.

IBP's Open Budget Survey shows that almost nothing except year end report is published and the year end report in the Open Budget Library is from 2012. So the data does not seem exist since then (2 fiscal periods ago).

There is no data since 2013, I believe the Lebanese government didn't issue an official budget for the last few years anyway.
