Lebanon PM publishes long-awaited banking law draft
Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam publishes a long-awaited banking draft bill, which would distribute losses from the 2019 financial crisis between banks and the state.
In a televised speech, Salam says “this draft law constitutes a roadmap to getting out of the crisis” that still grips Lebanon.
The bill is one of the reforms demanded by the international community before Beirut can receive financial support.
