Lebanon's pound hits new bottom, ahead of Riad Salameh interrogation
A French judge arrived in Lebanon this week to question central bank head Riad Salameh over his alleged financial crimes.
Lebanon’s currency fell to another historic low against the US dollar on Tuesday, on the eve of central bank chief Riad Salameh being summoned to appear before visiting European investigators.
Lebanese media outlets reported that the rate fell to 100,00 pounds to the dollar, down from 80,000 last month. The website Lira Rate said the pound is trading at 99,500 to the dollar.
