Of course whole lebanon govt is corrupt
Lebanon's Central Bank Governor Riad Salameh, who is one of those blamed for the country's financial crisis and wanted in Europe for alleged financial crimes, stepped down as planned after 30 years.
The government has yet to appoint his successor due to significant disagreements among the political class.
First Vice-Governor Wassim Mansouri will take over as interim head of the bank., while the country still reels from the 2019 financial collapse which plunged the local currency's value and swept away citizens' savings.
What is Mansouri's plan?
"We are at a crossroads," Mansouri said at a news conference. "We don't have time, and we paid a heavy price that we cannot pay anymore."
The interim governor proposed a six-month reform plan which involves introducing capital controls, a bank restructuring law and the 2023 state budget.
