Lebanon's Economic Rise and Fall | HICHAM SAFIEDDINE | afikra عفكرة Podcast #369

In conversation with Professor Hicham Safieddine, we get to grips with Lebanon’s banking system. He walks us through the history of central banks, who Lebanon’s Barons of Banking were, and how Lebanon’s banking sector got to where it is today. We reflect on Beirut’s economy and banking system from the 1800s to the present day, taking into account the Ottoman Imperial Bank, Banque de Syrie et du Liban, Banque du Liban, and the Intra-affair. Finally, we discuss the current state of affairs and if change is on the horizon.
