Yet the senior Lebanese official said that “the state is bankrupt, just like the Bank of Lebanon, and there are losses. The distribution of losses will be attributed to the actors concerned, namely the State, the BDL, the banks and the citizens ”.
Yesterday Monday, the Lebanese government denied information suggesting that Lebanon is bankrupt.
The Prime Minister also claims that the words of number two of the government were truncated, and that these statements were interpreted in an erroneous manner.
“My remarks were truncated, and the video that was disseminated constitutes part of my answer to a question concerning the participation of the State and the BDL to deal with the losses of the banking sector,” Chami told the OTV channel. “In my answer, I said that the state is unable to participate significantly to fill the gap, which is equivalent to saying that we have no liquidity,” said Lebanese Deputy Prime Minister Saadé Chami.
However, the information went around the world, and even in Tunisia, some began to alert against the Lebanese scenario. The Minister of Economy and Planning went so far as to consider that Tunisia was not Lebanon.
