💨 Abstract

The U.S. is intervening in Lebanon's selection of a new central bank governor to combat corruption and curb financing for Hezbollah through Lebanon's banking system. Washington is reviewing potential candidates and has met with some in Washington and Lebanon, asking about their plans to fight terrorist financing and confront Hezbollah. The next governor will play a key role in Lebanon's economic recovery from a five-year financial crisis.
