BEIRUT (Reuters) – Lebanon’s Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said on Tuesday that an injection of dollars must be made into the market to bolster the country’s pound currency amid a recent collapse in value.
In a televised speech, Nasrallah said ongoing talks between crisis-hit Lebanon and the International Monetary Fund for a reform programme could take months and “there is talk of a year,” asking, “Can the country bear a year?”
