Lebanon’s new government – now in its third month – has brought a renewed sense of hope that badly needed and long overdue economic policy reforms will be implemented. So far, laws that have passed or been amended – such as the bank secrecy law and bank restructuring – as well as renewed overtures towards the IMF and World Bank during last month’s Spring meetings, bode well for the government’s will and ability for reform. |
