History and profile

Le Commerce du Levant was established in 1929 by Lebanese Jews.[1][2][3] The headquarters was in Beirut.[2][4] It was formerly published on a weekly basis.[2] The magazine was published monthly by Société de presse et d’édition libanaise S.A.L.[4] that also publishes the French Lebanese daily L'Orient-Le Jour. Nayla de Freige was the president-director general of the publication.

The magazine covered articles about business and commerce related to both Lebanon and the Middle East.[4]

On 9 June 2021 the company announced that it would be shutting down its service, citing financial difficulties in the economic crisis. However, the real reason is believed to be due to the significant decline in readership. L'Orient le Jour, their sister site, would take in some of the staff.
