As you may be aware, during the global financial crisis most banks around the world have experienced difficulties in keeping up their revenue and profit and have tried to prevent catastrophe for themselves and their countries, however, the banks in Lebanon have not faced any problems.  As a matter of fact, they have increased their revenue, deposits and profit.  This is due to the wise judgment and the supervision of the governor of the Central Bank of Lebanon, HE Mr. Riad Salame, which prevents any possible financial problems in the country.  HE Mr. Salame is well known throughout the international banking world as the most successful central bank governor.

The Lebanese International Business Council (LIBC), an organization that facilitates networking among business people and professionals, is pleased to invite you to attend this gala and to listen to the keynote speech by HE Mr. Riad Salame.  There may also be an opportunity to ask questions.
