NNA- Prime Minister-Designate Tammam Salam received at his residence in Musaytbeh a delegation of the Economic Bodies headed by former Minister Adnan Qassar who uttered the economists' concerns over the vacuum at the level of the premiership, and the impact on the economic reality which is now at stake.



Following the meeting, Qassar said "we have confirmed to Salam that the economic bodies stood by his side in the ongoing quest with all political forces in order to form a government of national unity where all the political parties are represented."



Qassar called, in the name of the economic bodies, on the March 8 and 14 forces to give priority to the language of reason and logic and make room for the endeavors exerted so as to find the best solutions and alleviate the atmosphere of tension which impacted negatively on the economic and security situations.



He hoped these fruitless endeavors would accelerate the formation of the government "which we are now desperately in need for to restore the confidence of the Arab and foreign investors and facilitate their return to Lebanon."



Salam later met with MP Nabil de Freij who briefed him on the Economic Parliamentary Committee's meetings with different economic bodies "whose common request is to form a government quickly, because all sectors are suffering dreadful conditions."
