Adnan Kassar (Arabic: عدنان القصار; born 1930) is a Lebanese lawyer, businessman and politician, who served at different cabinet posts.

Early life and education

Kassar was born into a Sunni family in Beirut in 1930.[1][2] He received a law degree from St. Joseph University in 1951.[3][4]

Career

In addition to being a lawyer, Kassar is a businessman, dealing finance investments. He has founded and owns various companies concerning trade, shipping and travel, and industry and chairman of Kassar Group. He is also shareholder with Walid Jumblatt in a cement manufacturing firm.[1] Kassar served as the president of the Beirut Chamber of Commerce and Industry for nearly thirty years; to which he was elected in January 1972.[6][5] In June 1997, he became the president of the Federation of Chambers of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture in Lebanon.[5] From 1999 to 2000, he headed the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) based in Paris.[6] On 1 January 2001, Richard McCormick, who served as his deputy at the ICC, succeeded Kassar as head of the ICC.[7]

In January 2003, Kassar was appointed member of the patrons committee of the Anglo-Arab organisation.[3] In addition, Kassar and his brother are shareholders of Fransabank, a large Lebanese commercial bank. Kassar is chairman of the bank.[8] He is also chairman of the general union of Arab chambers of commerce, industry and agriculture and of Lebanon’s economic committees.[9][10]

In October 2004, Kassar was appointed minister of economy and trade in the cabinet led by prime minister Omar Karami, replacing Marwan Hamadeh as economy minister.[1][11] His tenure lasted until the year 2005, when Karami resigned from office due to the pressures exerted by Lebanese people as a protest over the assassination of Rafik Hariri.[12] Kassar was succeeded by Demianos Khattah in the post.[6][11] Later Kassar served as the minister of state in the cabinet led by prime minister Saad Hariri from November 2009 to 2011.[8] Kassar was one of the cabinet members appointed by the Lebanese president Michel Suleiman.[13]

Kassar has been regarded as a potential prime minister since the beginning of the 2000s.[1][6][14] After the resignation of prime minister Najib Mikati in March 2013, Kassar himself also announced that he is a "permanent" candidate for this post.[15] However, he was not supported by main factions such as the 14 March or 8 March alliances for the post.[12]
