Capital Concept

Since 2004, Capital Concept has been advising companies in the Middle East and North Africa region on Corporate Governance (CG). Through its alliance with leading international organizations such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the Global Corporate Governance Forum (GCGF) and the Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE) as well as through close relationships with regional central banks and capital market regulators, Capital Concept assists clients in implementing best in class CG standards. In April 2013, Capital Concept's GIR scoring became the first CG rating methodology recognized by Lebanon’s Central Bank, Banque Du Liban (BDL), to review and rate the banking sector and listed companies in Lebanon and the MENA region. Capital Concept GIR ratings are of unsurpassed rigor, objectivity, accuracy, transparency and timeliness – ratings that provide solid assurance for both investors and companies. With rich, in-depth information, Capital Concept ratings also provide shareholders, investors and financial institutions with stakeholder insight that they can turn into competitive advantage, enabling them to better assess corporate governance practices and thus strengthen their ability to make sound business and investment decisions.
