Bio:
Nemr holds a masters in economics and worked as an economist in a commercial bank in Kuwait for over ten years. In Denmark, he continues to do freelance research, conducting a variety of business and economic research. He has joined Kiva’s Fellowship program with the hopes of expanding his firsthand knowledge of microfinance and possibly doing a PhD within the field in the near future. During his time in Lebanon, Nemr hopes to gain a deeper insight into the kind of obstacles entrepreneurs face in that country. Nemr’s passion lies in making economics serve ordinary people through appropriate policy and private sector initiatives. Nemr has lived in five difference countries and has traveled extensively. He speaks Arabic and Danish fluently, in addition to English, and can manage a conversation in French and Spanish.
