Dr. Mardini explained how short it fell of reform expectations, before elaborating on what’s required from Lebanon to move IMF negotiations forward. Later, the seminar turned into a Q&A session that covered various topics, including the dire need for a currency board to usher in monetary stability, the non-viability of social welfare programs in the long run, and the impact that higher tariffs have on the economy.
