Lebanon Suspends Oversight Authority for Capital Markets, Drawing Criticism 🇱🇧 Lebanon has taken a controversial step by suspending the Capital Market Authority (CMA), responsible for overseeing capital markets and uncovering financial irregularities. The move has been labeled as "dangerous" by a CMA board member, Walid Kadri, who emphasized the importance of the supervisory authority for the financial sector. The decision, citing financial reasons, is subject to further discussions, with a meeting scheduled to explore financing options. Critics argue that the suspension could leave the financial sector without a crucial oversight mechanism, potentially favoring unregulated activities and networks of vested interests. #Lebanon #FinancialRegulation #CapitalMarkets
