Central Bank Governor Riad Salameh Leaves Office - Lebanon

File photo dated July 21, 2020 shows Riad Salame (or Salameh) gives an interview in Beirut, Lebanon. Lebanon’s veteran central bank governor leaves office on Monday after 30 years on the job with two international arrest warrants to his name and no designated successor. Riad Salameh, 73, who was appointed governor of the Banque du Liban in 1993, was for years credited with stabilising a battered economy after a 15-year civil war. He outlasted 12 premiers and was once seen as a viable candidate for president. But Salameh’s reputation is now in tatters, dogged by allegations of corruption and financial mismanagement.
