Lebanese PM Hariri assures bankers stability comes first
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleLebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri assures regional bankers that Lebanon’s stability is his top concern, one day after walking back his shock resignation that threw his country into turmoil.
Hariri, speaking at the Arab Banking Conference in Beirut, says his government will prioritize Lebanon’s interests over regional challenges and stressed a return to the country’s official policy of “disassociation,” or neutrality in regional affairs.
“Our primary concern in Lebanon is stability, and that is what we are going to focus on,” Hariri says.
Hariri stunned Lebanon and the region by resigning on November 4 while in Saudi Arabia, raising fears of market panic and recession.
