Banking Secret Law remains incomplete until the approval of applied decrees

A member of the “Strong Republic” bloc, Representative Ghada Ayoub, said in an interview with “Al -Diyar”, that “most of the countries have canceled the so -called banking microcity, raising or restricting it, in light of the presence of an obsession with all countries that the fight against terrorism, money laundering, and limiting the use of illegal funds from illegal sources offending the banking system and the state’s financial policy, especially in light of the financial and economic crisis that is joking, Under Lebanon.

She pointed out that “the parliament was obliged to pass the amendments in this law, and that the secret banking state that was previously raised one of the incentives and the means that attract investments and funds to Lebanese banks, but today in order to get out of the crisis that we suffer from, we have to adhere to the reforms that the IMF requests, which raise the level of transparency, remove confusion, help accountable, and protect the rights The depositors for the classification of these depositors in categories in order to facilitate the process of re -deposits to them, and to protect their rights in a fair and transparent way, and from here the recommendation to amend the banking confidentiality law that was amended in the year 2022.

And if the approval of the banking secret led to the opening of the way for obtaining support from the International Monetary Fund, Representative Ayoub informs that “the process is related to a large percentage of reforms imposed on Lebanon in the context of restructuring the banking sector and the law for addressing the gap and identifying responsibilities, and therefore, it constitutes one of the required steps within the basis of several reforms, but in effect, the law remains incomplete, despite all the amendments that were approved, What is lacking is that the government plays its role by issuing applied decrees to determine the standards and guarantees for the good application of the law of raising the banking confidentiality. In this context, Ayoub indicated that “the strong Republic’s bloc had submitted a question to the government about the delay in issuing these applied decrees, and the reasons for not being issued to this day.”

On the records of the issue of inventory of weapons in the hands of the Lebanese state, MP Ayoub confirms that “it is time for a bilateral dialogue between the Presidency of the Republic and Hezbollah to determine a period of time on the date of delivery of weapons, and provides a special mechanism for this process, in order to hand over the Lebanese army sites and weapons stores of Hezbollah, so that the records do not continue on this issue in light of what some people marke in this field in order to delay this process, Especially since the inner scene returned to witness a wave of escalation and high -ceiling rhetoric, and the return of talking about breaking the hand that will extend to the weapon, as if the implementation of the Taif Agreement has become an infringement of one of the internal parties.

Ayoub stresses, “the necessity of separating Hezbollah’s weapon and the Shiite community, and between the rights of the Shiite community and the rights of the Lebanese, and the exception that the party enjoyed in its arms, where it is possible to accomplish this process through a dialogue with the President of the Republic, or through a government plan as our ministers proposed, it is presented to the Lebanese public opinion and chosen and approved by Hezbollah, especially since what is from the party that spoke about the necessity of handing over this weapon to the army He has several options to dispose of it, because the basis is not the weapon, but that the state is the choice of all Lebanese in defending Lebanon, no return, no concessions, no settlements in this field, and that wasting time is unacceptable, and it is no longer possible to invoke any external or regional events, after it is time to build a state for all and above all.
