It’s the problem with the political class in Lebanon. They take care of themselves first and then only God can help everyone else. financial crisis in Lebanon? The political class are the first to take all of their money out of the Lebanese banks and put it all in Swiss accounts. It was so much that a liquidy crisis was created in dollar accounts. Then the USG put financial sanctions on Hezbollah accounts causing that money to be pulled out of the Lebanese banks. Is it any wonder that the lira:dollar exchange rate went from $1507/1£ to $1750/1£?
Lebanon is not a true republic nor a collection of religious tribes under the Arzi, it is a cleptocracy. The political class, from all religious sects suck off of the government so that government cannot perform its function as the political class enriches itself, then flees when things get tough.
