<p class="MsoNormal">After a US-based consultancy firm terminated its contract to audit Lebanon’s central bank due to missing data, the country’s parliament on Friday voted in favor of a thorough financial audit of state institutions. Notably, France and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) are among the creditors seeking an audit of the central bank as part of urgent reforms to unlock financial support, especially when Lebanon is facing a severe economic crisis.</p>
