الإعلان عن إفلاس لبنان: أين الحقيقة؟
في العدد #53 من الجباية ببساطة نستضيف الخبير في التنمية الإقتصادية هاني السلموني لتحليل خبر إفلاس لبنان بعد إعلانه من طرف نائب رئيس الوزراء اللبناني سعادة الشامي قبل نفيه من رئيس الوزراء نجيب الميقاتي الذي صنفته مجلة فوربس مع شقيقه طه كواحد من أكبر اثرياء المنطقة العربية في مفارقة صارخة مع تدهور الوضع الإقتصادي اللبناني.
هل يمكن للحكومة اللبنانية التوصل الي حلول لتفادي الافلاس؟ وهل يساهم الإتفاق مع صندوق النقد الدولي حول برنامج تمويل جديد في إخراج لبنان من ازمتها؟
أسئلة نطرحها على ضريفنا د. هاني السلموني.
In episode #53 of “Taxes simply” we provide a recap of the key economic events globally and in the Arab region in April 2022. We then speak with Dr. Hany El Salamony, an expert in economic development who discusses the latest developments in Lebanon and the news of the country going bankrupt, while the country’s Prime Minister is named one of wealthiest Arabs on the Forbes list for the richest Arabs in 2022. Can the Lebanese government find a way to avoid going bankrupt? Can the agreement with the IMF for a new loan help mitigate Lebanon’s crisis? These are some of the questions we’ll discuss with our guest.
