Lebanon’s central Banque du Liban began using “financial engineering” in 2016 to prop up the country’s longstanding dollar peg, offering steep interest rates for local currency accounts – in exchange for hard foreign currency.
Some economists compared the practice to a #Ponzi scheme, dependent on a triangle of mutually assured destruction between BdL, the banking sector, and the political and business elite.
Depuis hier des manifestants caillassent et/ou brûlent des banques, dont le siège sidonien de la BDL.
