“The Lebanese Lira is stable and will remain stable,” said Salameh during talks with President Michel Aoun in Baabda.

Yes. For now.
But if we cant get our act together, and reduce our expenditures,
if Berri continues hiring people into the government to bolster his electoral base,
If our government policy is going to be dictated by entitled special interest groups who are indebting future generations to fund their useless a$$es, teachers, retired military, amn el 3am, cgtl, and other communists,
THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL LEBANON POUND STAYS STABLE.
