Finance Minister Yassine Jaber tells LBCI he hopes central bank governor appointment won't go to vote, seeks consensus

Lebanese Finance Minister Yassine Jaber expressed hope that the appointment of a new central bank governor would not be put to a vote, emphasizing the need for consensus on the matter.

Jaber revealed to LBCI that the list he is presenting includes two names: Karim Soaid and Eddy Gemayel.

He noted that Jamil Baz had withdrawn his candidacy following recent controversy.

However, Jaber added that he has a third candidate in mind, one who has not been part of the ongoing political debate or the widely discussed names.
