The Central Bank’s four vice governors – Wassim Mansouri, Bashir Yakzan, Salim Chahine and Alexander Mouradian – on Tuesday met in parliament with a number of MPs.

“We’re awaiting the list of demands that they want from the government,” MP George Adwan said after the meeting.

Lebanon’s pro-Hezbollah al-Akhbar newspaper on Tuesday criticized a statement issued by the five-nation group on Lebanon as “escalatory” and “a declaration of a new tutelage” over Lebanon.

The statement “resembled a mourning of the French initiative and a near-termination of the mandate granted by the U.S. to Paris in the presidential file,” al-Akhbar said.

Deputy Speaker Elias Bou Saab met Tuesday with Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea to discuss with him the possibility of holding a dialogue between parties or parliamentary blocs over the presidential file.

"Geagea is open to any consultation, communication or agreement with all parties without exception," Bou Saab said after the meeting. But the LF leader is not convinced of a "traditional" dialogue table, he added.

The five-nation meeting held in Doha by representatives of the U.S., France, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Egypt has devised “a roadmap for the coming period,” MTV reported on Tuesday.

“The conferees agreed to follow up on and enhance the outcome of the visits of French envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian to Lebanon and the region’s countries, in coordination with the visits of the Qatari envoys,” the TV network added, noting that the five countries have also agreed to “exchange information.”

The five-nation group on Lebanon has threatened “measures” against the Lebanese parties who are “blocking progress” in the stalled presidential election file, in a statement issued after a meeting in Doha.

"Today, representatives from Egypt, France, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United States met to discuss the urgent need for Lebanon's leadership to expedite presidential elections and implement imperative economic reforms in order to fulfill their responsibilities to their citizens. Rescuing the economy and securing a more prosperous future for the Lebanese people rests on their actions," the five nations said in a joint statement.

Free Patriotic Movement MP Ibrahim Kanaan asked Tuesday caretaker Finance Minister Youssef al-Khalil for a copy of the Alvarez & Marsal forensic audit report.

The Finance Ministry had last month denied accusations that it has “hidden” the report, claiming that the report is just a draft, that it belongs to the Lebanese government and not the Finance Ministry and that it is confidential.

Central Bank governor Riad Salameh showed up Tuesday for an interrogation session at the Justice Palace before Judge Charbel Abu Samra.

Salameh has been the subject of a series of judicial probes both in crisis-hit Lebanon and abroad into the fortune he has amassed during some three decades in the post.
