BDL vice governors tell MPs they won't give up their responsibilities

The Central Bank’s four vice governors – Wassim Mansouri, Bashir Yakzan, Salim Chahine and Alexander Mouradian – on Tuesday met in parliament with a number of MPs.

“We’re awaiting the list of demands that they want from the government,” MP George Adwan said after the meeting.

“The Sayrafa platform was opposed by them and to them its continuation would be totally far from transparency,” Adwan added.

“We will demand that confidentiality be lifted off the Central Bank’s records,” Adwan said.

He added that the vice governors told lawmakers that their latest statement was aimed at drawing the attention of the caretaker Cabinet and that they will not give up their responsibilities.

“The vice governors had sent the governor memos in which they warned him of the risks of the financial policy and the subsidization policy,” Adwan said.
