Lebanese central bank governor, Riad Salameh has said the country's fourth year of strong economic growth should reduce public debt to 139% of gross domestic product, down from about 147%, Bloomberg has reported. "Our main focus is going to be on getting the government to reduce the country's debt, of which 60% is held in Lebanese pounds and 40% in dollars," he told the news service. Lebanon is expected to see a growth of around 8% in 2010, he added.
