Country risk, from the local press

Lebanon country watch

Exposure to Lebanon means watching the Banque du Liban and the pound, capital controls and the banking restructuring, IMF and reconstruction milestones, security on the southern border, the Port of Beirut and the airport, power supply, and the banking, real-estate, retail and remittance flows that keep the economy afloat. We read L'Orient-Le Jour, An-Nahar, Al Akhbar, The Daily Star and Executive every morning.
