BEIRUT - Lebanese student Fatima Jaber’s family is struggling to pay off multiple loans with double-digit interest rates.
“We need a change to the system because everyone has at least one loan from the bank and the rates are very high and we can’t pay them,” said Jaber, 22, as she and a small crowd protested outside the central bank in the capital, Beirut. The central bank has taken steps to protest depositors by ensuring no bank would fail and will seek to lower interest rates through liquidity management, he said.
Giyas Gokkent, at JPMorgan Securities, said reserves were high enough to ensure Lebanon could maintain its peg to the U.S dollar.“The net foreign position of banks is declining rapidly,” said an international banker who declined to be identified because of the sensitivity of the situation. “No sensible or normal person will be transferring money to Lebanon in the current circumstances,” said Hani Salem, a British-Lebanese financial sector consultant working in Britain.
