I discussed my ideas with many universities and banks, and after receiving the full support of Dr. Karim Nasr, Dean of the Faculty of Business and Management of the University of Balamand (UOB) and Mr. Walid Raphael, Deputy Manager of Banque Libano-Française (BLF), I returned to Lebanon to build this bridge. This bridge is the Economics and Capital Markets Research Center of the University of Balamand; a Banque Libano-Française partnered initiative, which was officially inaugurated on December 17, 2007.
Our main goal is "MAKING SENSE OF DATA" in order to help investors and students see deeper, understand more and act with confidence. We want this Center to be a cornerstone towards striving for excellence. I invite you to visit our website and have a look at our publications. We will be honored also if you want to visit our center and discuss with us directly.
