  • UANI's Letter to Banque Du Liban's
    P.O. Box 1028 | New York, NY 10185-1028 | (212) 554-3296 May 28, 2012 Governor Riad T. Salamé Banque du Liban Masraf Lubnan Street P.O. Box 11-5544 Beirut, Lebanon Re: Lebanon Operates as a Sovereign Money Laundering Enterprise/The Fraudulent Scheme to Support Lebanon’s Sovereign Backed Securities/The Central Role of Banque du Liban in the Fraud/Determination Under Section 311 of the USA PATRIOT Act Dear Governor Salamé, This letter responds to your letter of February 24, 20121 and the correspondence and “Basic Circular” that you sent to me on April 4, 2012.2 Our team at United Against Nuclear Iran (“UANI”) was surprised by the statements contained in your letter that appear either to be ill-informed or demonstrably false and misleading. Upon receipt of your correspondence, UANI has undertaken a thorough review and analysis of the activities of Banque du Liban (“BDL”), Lebanon’s central bank, and the Lebanese banking system (“LBS”) both in the public record and through confidential sourcing. Based on the analysis that we describe to you in the below and the attached, UANI has serious concerns regarding the legitimacy of BDL, the LBS and your role as the Governor of the BDL. Introduction As a result of the actions and omissions of BDL and the LBS, Lebanon has become a sovereign money laundering jurisdiction that receives massive inflows of illicit deposits. Those illicit monies are generated from Hizballah terror and criminal activities, and the illicit symbiotic relationships among Iran, Syria and Hizballah that is founded on terrorism, the material support of terrorism, and weapons transfers, including as related to weapons of mass destruction.

Entangling real estate investment, sovereign debt and transnational financial circulations from Arab Gulf investors and the Lebanese diaspora, managed by the Banque du Liban and scrutinized by the United States Treasury, the Lebanese political economy was – and still is – swayed by the fortunes of war. According to literature on the political economy of violence, profits are often made in times of war, a context appropriate to the civil war and postwar eras, during which spoils of war enriched the pockets of warlords-turned-politicians.

  • THE IMPACT of CORPORATE GOVERNANCE on the PERFORMANCE of LEBANESE BANKS Hani El-Chaarani, Beirut Arab University
    The International Journal of Business and Finance Research ♦ VOLUME 8 ♦ NUMBER 5 ♦ 2014 THE IMPACT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE ON THE PERFORMANCE OF LEBANESE BANKS Hani El-Chaarani, Beirut Arab University ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of corporate governance on financial performance of Lebanese banks during five years (from 2006 to 2010). Based on 182 observations, a quantitative method of data analysis was employed to investigate the relevance of corporate governance mechanisms. The first finding reveals a positive impact of independent boards on the performance of Lebanese banks. The research also finds a significant and negative relationship between CEO duality and bank performance. Finally, the paper reveals a positive impact of insider ownership concentration on the return of Lebanese banks indicating the more shares held by insiders, the better the performance. The weaknesses of corporate governance in some Lebanese banks might be compensated by higher insider ownership concentration. JEL: G2, G3 KEYWORDS: Lebanese Banks, Financial Performance, Financial Trust, Corporate Governance. INTRODUCTION ebanese banks play a key role in the Lebanese economy and dominate the financial system. Despite instability in Arab countries, confidence in the Lebanese banking system is solid due to several L characteristics that attract the foreign capital. Recently, the sector is characterized by high systematic liquidity with overall confidence and trust from both investors and depositors. The safety of depositors’ funds occurs based on solid banking secrecy, enhanced under supervision of the central bank which is the regulatory authority. According to the Association of banks in Lebanon (ABL), Lebanese banks have Strong growth and balance sheet activity. They are well capitalized with good returns.

  • Constructing Resilience: Real Estate Investment, Sovereign Debt and Lebanon's Transnational Political Economy by Julia Tierney
    Constructing Resilience: Real Estate Investment, Sovereign Debt and Lebanon’s Transnational Political Economy by Julia Tierney A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctoral of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning and the Designated Emphasis in Global Metropolitan Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Teresa Caldeira, Chair Professor Ananya Roy Professor Michael Watts Professor Cihan Tugal Spring 2017 Constructing Resilience: Real Estate Investment, Sovereign Debt and Lebanon’s Transnational Political Economy Copyright 2017 by Julia Tierney Abstract Constructing Resilience: Real Estate Investment, Sovereign Debt and Lebanon’s Transnational Political Economy by Julia Tierney Doctoral of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning And the Designated Emphasis in Global Metropolitan Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Teresa Caldeira In urban studies scholarship, Lebanon is often theorized on the frontiers of sectarian conflict as well as on the frontlines of neoliberalism. Entangling real estate investment, sovereign debt and transnational financial circulations from Arab Gulf investors and the Lebanese diaspora, managed by the Banque du Liban and scrutinized by the United States Treasury, the Lebanese political economy was – and still is – swayed by the fortunes of war. According to literature on the political economy of violence, profits are often made in times of war, a context appropriate to the civil war and postwar eras, during which spoils of war enriched the pockets of warlords-turned-politicians. Yet as the effects of the Syrian conflict spill across the border, encumbering Lebanon’s long paralyzed politics, straining its already deteriorated infrastructure and intensifying uncertainty with punctuated bombings, certain sectors prosper not because of violence but in spite of it.

  • Overview of the Lebanese Financial System Amid the Crisis 1. the Twin Deficit Phenomenon in Lebanon
    General Secretariat – Research Department March 2021 Overview of the Lebanese Financial System amid the Crisis 1. The twin deficit phenomenon in Lebanon: the root of the crisis Lebanon is one of the mostly indebted countries in the world, with a debt-to-GDP ratio reaching 171.7% by the end of 2020 according to the IMF. This mounting debt has resulted from decades of lack of planning, the adoption of failed economic and financial policies, the continuous budget deficit, the exceptionally high cost of borrowing, and the rampant corruption. In fact, the budget deficit may summarise the repercussions of all the above listed factors, where this deficit (Figure 1) in its turn contributed to boosting public debt to unsustainable levels. Figure 1: Budget deficit in Lebanon as percentage of GDP 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Source: IMF, October 2020. This large deficit in government balance was coupled with a similar – large and continuous – deficit in the current account of the balance of payments in Lebanon (Figure 2), which proves the prevalence of the Twin Deficit phenomenon in Lebanon. Despite the large remittance inflows Lebanon received from its diaspora, the economic and monetary policies adopted after the civil war that ended in 1990, have resulted in constant retreat in the productive sectors, provoking a decline in exports and increase in imports. Consequently, Lebanon recorded a constant deficit in its balance of payments, with very low levels of employment and economic growth.
