This is the easy part, which we have compiled for his autobiography how do we determine the accumulated experience in the field of banking and banks, Bay box of Calendar set it is not us but to Nnath economic thinker a benefit to its worth and continuation of the tender.
But let's here and through this experience that Bmoisadtha dozens evaluate banking relationship between Iraq and Lebanon fact, that the banking sector need these experiences so it was the central bank's choice in the selection of Lebanese banks to hold a forum Beirut banking luck to take advantage of those experiences, but the most important question is how we achieve this goal?
This sample taken by coincidence but rather reinforced by the historical extension of the Lebanese banking where is said that the first bank in Lebanon founded in 1863.
Journalist dialogue!
promises to a start In the evening dinner when asked «Baldkien» conduct an interview with him and promised me the next day, and actually at 12:00 presented to the Movenpick Hotel where staying close to the banking forum Vastahbna I and Sheikh bankers Hassoun to his office for an interview with him, and after the usual hospitality and when you eat Coffee asked him to talk about the global economic affairs, Vpadrth a question about the possibility of the return of gold to the
interface?
He said this question is enough to test the journalistic skill, and has to his office and brought a book turned out to be the archive of press interviews throughout the banking and financial services and said you'll find in the book answers adequate for everything that wanders In your mind, I was surprised and I said with self-Is that the man does not want an
interview?
When leafing through the book actually found that the expectations of the man on the future of the global economy heralded at all what was going and what is happening now, especially in the economic and financial crises, and the address carried by the interviews and found Dhalte of the meeting and settled for him, I thanked him and Aqlna to the hotel to continue the work of
the forum.
But that is going on in the mole is that Lebanon has gone through the same circumstances that Mrabha Iraq and still in some respects but continued to rally, especially in the banking sector, which is a model the fanciest in the region and that the Lebanese currency and Sarsrvha stable at its borders, no matter how tensions political and intensified the problems, as you find that on the contrary, here in Iraq, we find a quick and negative effects on the sector
banking.
What is the reason?
inevitably experiences accumulated here play a role in dealing with what is going through Lebanon from the difficult and harsh conditions and respond departments with those conditions and, most importantly that of driving sector banking and finance people who have the expertise aforementioned Therefore, we find useful inference Lebanese experience and benefit from so find that the partnership option with these experiences have significant implications for the banking reality in the country, so we said at the
beginning of the modern that such meetings useful and important to improve the performance, then it is useful to stress the need to continue these activities.
He also called for a central, that the flexibility enjoyed by monetary policy in Lebanon is pushing for development and that stems from the close relationship between the central banks, which reflects the successes also reflect the extent of the commitment and respect for the banks monetary policy resulting from the bridges high confidence between the parties, this Gleam we desperately need it requires a real assessment of the performance of all banks, when it is the account according
performances.
The next phase needs a lot of effort to correct the banking sector path and restore confidence between banks and the central one hand and the public on the other hand, and this the task of the government's responsibility to ensure the preservation of the international reputation of Iraqi banks, and it is open to experiences and discreet banks to accommodate the requirements of the most promising market and big money. The story Baldkien Achtzlnaha here only as a reminder of the importance of accumulated experience and a good selection departments of banks and the experience of Lebanon valid to be a model
role model.
