—-Lebanese pound hit an all-time low against the dollar On February 16th, causing dozens to protest a deepening economic crisis that has thrown more than half of the population into poverty.
The pound had been pegged to the dollar at 1,500 since 1997 but the country’s worst economic crisis since the 1975-1990 civil war has seen its value plummet.
During mid-February it was trading at nearly 10,000 pounds to the dollar on the black market, money exchangers told AFP.
