Purpose
The aim of the FAIC series this year is to provide a forum for both academic and practitioner's debate over the unique nature and the future potential of securitization in Lebanon and the MENA region.
This conference is then intended to be interdisciplinary. It is configured to bring together academics, finance and accounting professionals, as well as policy makers who have an interest in, wish to learn more, or discuss issues in securitization as it potentially applies to Lebanon and the MENA region. Your perspective may be international, regional or local. The conference welcomes contributions and papers from anyone on this important issue or any related topics.
Offers to run symposia or themed presentations and discussions are especially welcome and should be discussed with the organizers at the earliest opportunity. This applies equally to academic contributors and organizationally based participants.
