On June 8, our Institute and the Department of Economics at
@AUB_Lebanon held a closed roundtable on how to manage Lebanon’s gold, evaluating the desirability of monetizing some of its holdings, its legality, and the political and technical feasibility of such an operation. The discussion gathered experts from the domains of academia, banking, finance, and the public sector, with the purpose of developing a reasoned framework for thinking about a complex policy question that can no longer be ignored.
For further background, we invite you to read two of the Institute’s most recent publications on the topic:
1⃣"Managing Lebanon’s Gold: Governance, Growth, and Financial Recovery," by Saade Chami:
