BEIRUT — Appointed in February as Minister of State for Administrative Reform, Fadi Makki marks a return to Lebanese politics after a two-decade hiatus. A former partner and director at management consulting firms Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and Booz & Company, he’s provided governments around the MENA region with public sector advisory for years.Between 2002 and 2005, he served as Director General at the Ministry of Economy and Trade, a position he left following a dispute — for which he sued the state and later won the case. Makki’s tenure comes at a time when Lebanon’s public sector has been decimated by a six-year economic collapse, leaving state institutions barely functional and public servants earning around a quarter of their pre-crisis wages.
