Adnan Kassar, a Lebanese businessman, has a Bachelor degree in Law from Saint Joseph University in Beirut. He is married to Raida and they have one daughter.
In 1972 Mr. Kassar was elected President of the Beirut Chamber of Commerce and Industry, a position he held for over thirty years.
Throughout the war years that Lebanon endured between 1976 and 1991, Adnan Kassar remained in Lebanon at the head of the private sector. He geared his efforts towards keeping Lebanon present in world meetings, symposiums, conferences, international fairs and exhibitions.
Adnan Kassars strong belief in maintaining the unity of the Lebanese economy urged him to establish and develop a productive coordination and cooperation between all Lebanese Chambers of Commerce. This led to the establishment of the Federation of Chambers of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture in Lebanon. He has chaired this Federation since its foundation and succeeded in placing it at the forefront of the Lebanese economy.
What distinguishes Adnan Kassar is the respect and credibility he enjoys in the Lebanese, Arab and international business communities. This paved the way for Adnan Kassar to be elected Chairman of the General Union of Arab Chambers of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture for more than one term in the past and for a current term of two years. This came as a distinguished recognition for his continued contribution to the promotion of inter-Arab trade and investment and the establishment and development of the private sector in the Arab world. His diligent efforts have contributed to the creation of the Greater Arab Free Trade Area which will serve as a prelude for the establishment of the Arab Common Market.
Adnan Kassars international relations, his leading role and long experience at the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) based in Paris and present in over 140 countries, coupled with his contribution to the wellbeing of world business to lead his election as Chairman of the ICC; a position which he held for a two-year period (1999-2000).
Right from the beginning of his term, Adnan Kassar proved to be a skilled and able leader of this World Business Organization. He successfully expanded its international activities and increased its role as the only true representative body of international business. His efforts were also geared towards promoting the role of ICC in the world economy and increasing the private sectors contribution to global growth and social development.

In addition, Fransabank has several strategic alliances with leading international banks, financial institutions and organizations. Amongst these are Credit Agricole of France, DEG/Deutsche Investment and Development Group of Germany and the Public Institution for Social Security of Kuwait.
