Soaid's brother emerges as leading candidate for central bank chief post
Legal consultant Karim Soaid, the brother of ex-MP Fares Soaid, has emerged as the leading candidate for the central bank governor post.
According to Al-Akhbar newspaper, Karim Soaid has a “special relation” with President Joseph Aoun.
“The economic advisers around Aoun back Soaid, who also enjoys the support of ex-PM Fouad Saniora, with the latter trying to convince the prime minister (Nawaf Salam) with endorsing him,” the daily added.
