Abstract

Thank you for inviting me to address this conference dealing with an important issue for Lebanon’s future. I would like to thank the Lebanese Center for Policy Studies, the Adenauer Foundation and the World Bank for having organized this symposium. My talk falls into five parts. The first part is a general overview and discussion of the background to the Partnership Agreement. In the second, I will sketch the major dispositions of the agreement. The third part is a brief discussion of the potential costs and benefits of the agreement, with a focus on its economic implications. The fourth part consists of a discussion of economic policy issues and options. Section five of the talk relates to the implications for monetary policy.
