📈💸 INTEL EXCLUSIVE FOOTAGE: Though the Lebanese Pound has been in a consistent free fall since 2019, another RAPID slip took place in a matter of days, with currency devaluing nearly 9 times from its 23-year-long peg.

This is triggering fiery protests, leading to bank burnings and demonstrations in front of Lebanese Bank's Association chairman's home, in continuation of anger that led to armed bank "robberies" by citizens attempting to reclaim funds.

The currency's fall comes at the helm of aggressive sanctions on anti-West political parties and individuals, US obstructing government formation, and years of capital controls on bank deposits.
