The banking sector in Lebanon for decades enjoyed a productive and responsible relationship with the central bank. This relationship have saved the Lebanese economy and shielded the banking sector in Lebanon during the global financial crisis. We have proven in the past our capability to raise our capitals, attract deposits and invest Eros when needed. However, this is contingent to the political stability in the country. The governor of the central bank knows the status and the challenges facing our banks and have always been willing to accommodate the interests of the sector and the needs of the monetary and financial stability in the country.
