CDs and financial instruments joint stock companies can issue

Article Abstract:

Lebanese laws do not legally define certificates of deposit (CDs). However, Article 8 of Law Decree No. 50 as amended by Article 7 of Decree No. 5527 provides required data that should appear on the certificate. The country's Code of Commerce also provides a regulatory framework for the instrument. It should also be noted that although Lebanese laws have no jurisdiction over CDs issued by foreign banks abroad, the issuance should be consistent with Lebanese public policy.
