Fierce backlash is mounting in Lebanon against IMF-sponsored banking sector reform<\/strong>s<\/strong>, with civil society groups, independent media, and reformist policymakers allegedly being targeted in what the IMF says is a coordinated campaign that would undermine progress on financial and political changes, the Financial Times<\/a> writes. The alleged smear campaign \u2014 reportedly promulgated by some in the banking sector, according to media watchdog Samir Kassir Foundation head Ayman Mhanna \u2014 is the result of mounting pressure on the newly formed Lebanese government to enact long-delayed reforms aimed at restructuring the banking sector and unlocking an IMF rescue package.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s behind the backlash? <\/strong>The IMF\u2019s conditions \u2014 which include lifting banking secrecy, restructuring the financial system, and addressing more than USD 70 bn in post-crisis losses since 2019 \u2014 would force banks and their political allies to disclose sensitive financial data and shoulder a portion of the losses.<\/p>\n

Despite pressure from the media, the Lebanese parliament was able to amend the <\/strong>country\u2019s banking secrecy law<\/strong> to allow broader access to historical financial records. Prime Minister Nawaf Salam hailed the move as a \u201cnecessary step towards the desired economic reform\u201d and essential to \u201cholding perpetrators accountable.\u201d The law allows authorities to access records going back up to a decade \u2014 a clause that some legacy interests have strongly opposed.<\/p>\n

More battles ahead: <\/strong>A draft banking sector restructuring law has been approved by the cabinet and is now under discussion in parliament\u2019s finance committee, though legislation on how to distribute financial losses \u2014 and how to repay depositors \u2014 has yet to be agreed. The secretary-general of the Association of Banks in Lebanon said the sector wants \u201ca realistic balance between financial reform and the protection of depositors\u2019 rights.\u201d<\/p>\n
