  1. The Lebanese pound continues to lose ground even today:
    16,500 Lebanese pounds to one US dollar.
    New negative record

  2. The 17,000 Lebanese pound barrier was broken to one US dollar
    The pace picks up

  3. Living in Lebanon in numbers following the erosion of the value of the Lebanese pound:
    The minimum monthly wage in Lebanon is now equal to $ 44 (a year and a half ago it was $ 500).
    The average monthly wage in the Lebanese economy is now $ 70 (a year and a half ago it was $ 800).
    Even in Gaza they earn more
