Who will resolve Amir Al-Bassat's scandals
The article discusses the ongoing series of scandals involving Minister of Economy Amer Al-Bassat, which seem endless. These include conflicts of interest stemming from his appointment by BlackRock, a company that owns the majority of Lebanese Eurobonds, as well as his assignment to draft a law for banking sector restructuring. The article also touches on a series of appointments within the Council of Ministers, including the appointment of his advisor as head of the Competition Authority. Additionally, the piece addresses the recent scandal surrounding his visit to Damascus, where a Syrian official was introduced as the head of the Lebanese-Syrian Business Council by Jihad Al-Arab, an American-sanctioned contractor brother, without any knowledge of how the council was formed or how Khalil Al-Arab was appointed as its head. The article raises concerns about suspicious activities behind these visits amidst accusations of government lack of transparency.
