We are pleased to share a new opinion article by our Chairman and General Manager, Dr. Riad Obegi, entitled “The Currency Board: Between Historical Legacy and Contemporary Adaptation – Can It Be a Solution for Lebanon?”

In this op-ed, Dr. Obegi revisits the concept of the Currency Board through a rigorous economic lens, drawing lessons from historical experiences while questioning their relevance to Lebanon’s current crisis.

Beyond the technical debate, the article challenges common assumptions about monetary stability, fiscal discipline, and policy credibility, and proposes a rethought framework rooted in simplicity, transparency, and enforceable rules.
