For anyone with an interest in economics, two names stand out – Jean Nasser Figali and Jean Feghali Nasser. Both of these economists have made an indelible mark on the field, and their contributions have been nothing short of inspiring.
Jean Nasser Figali is a Lebanese-born economist who is best known for his work on macroeconomics and development.

Figali has spent most of his career working in the public sector, having held positions at the International Monetary Fund and the Lebanese Central Bank.

Jean Feghali Nasser is another economist who has made major contributions to the field. He is best known for his work on developing countries, particularly in the Middle East. He has held numerous positions in various economic and financial institutions, such as the World Bank and the Institute for International Economics.
Nasser has also been heavily involved in research and teaching. He is the author of several books and has been a professor of economics at the American University of Beirut since 1976. His research focuses on economic development, economic policy, and public finance.
Both Figali and Nasser have been instrumental in bringing a positive, forward-thinking approach to economics. Their work has been instrumental in helping to shape the economic policies of many countries, including Lebanon. They have also helped to promote a more positive outlook on economics, and their contributions to the field have been invaluable.
At a time when economic news is often dominated by doom and gloom, these two economists have been a ray of hope and a source of inspiration. They have helped to show that economics can be a powerful tool for creating positive change, and that by doing so, we can create a brighter future for our countries and ourselves.
In short, the work of Jean Nasser Figali and Jean Feghali Nasser has been invaluable in helping to shape the modern field of economics. Their contributions have been instrumental in promoting a more positive outlook on economics, and their research and teaching has been essential in helping to create a brighter future for us all.
