هنالك كمية تضليل كبيرة بموضوع ما يسمى بالاحتياطي الالزامي: الاحتياطي الالزامي و المعروف أيضاً بالتوظيفات الالزامية هي نسبة من الودائع في المصارف (بالعملة الاجنبية و بالعملة الوطنية) يحددها المصرف المركزي بتعميم يلزم فيه المصارف ايداعها لديه. (١/٦)
و لهذه التوظيفات هدفان: ١. تستعمل كنوع من "التأمين" على الودائع يسمح بالتدخل بحال واجهت المصارف صعوبات مالية، ٢. هي اداة من ادوات السياسة النقدية بحيث يستطيع المصرف المركزي زيادة او تخفيض هذه النسبة حسب قراءته لواقع السيولة المالية بالسوق. (٢/٦)
يعني اذا ارتأى المصرف المركزي ان الاقتصاد بحاجة لضخ سيولة يخفض النسبة و ُيرجع المال الى المصارف التي بدورها توظفها في السوق و العكس صحيح (يرفع النسبة لتخفيض السيولة من السوق بغية الحد من اثار التضخم). (٣/٦)
Thread: Lebanon's biggest missed opportunity
(as we cant see hope of recovery)
As some complain about the weather and others are enjoying the snow, we cant ignore that the most important resource in history (&future) falls upon us for free and we let it go to waste.

The availability of clean water plays a critical part in determining where people live, their quality of life and the potential for development of any city/country, as has been witnessed across the world, time and again.

We behave like water is only meant for its most basic use: our own domestic consumption when drinking, cooking or cleaning.
We all acknowledge its fundamental need by the agricultural industry for irrigation purposes.

No one is really rejoicing the the government of Hassan Diab resigned, because no one really expected Diab to alter the status quo. He was appointed to absorb people's rage, and eventually be blamed as a scapegoat for when the economy completely collapses.
Then the #BeirutExplosion happened and threw the entire establishment into disarray. Diab was pressured to resign, or risk taking the blame for the explosion. #Macron's visit sent a signal that change will inevitably come. Elites are now scrambling to hedge their positions.
President Aoun & FPM will likely double down on their alliance with #Hezbollah and March-8 alliance, but it will bring their demise. The Christian street isn't as wedded to the resistance axis as its Shiite counterpart. International isolation of Lebanon will cause FPM to implode
In Beirut just now: It felt like it was an earthquake for a few seconds then something big exploded. Not sure what it is yet.
Beirut a little earlier today, explosion so massive it was felt and caused significant damage outside the city.
A theory is floating around that the explosion at the Port of Beirut was caused by fireworks.
Whatever it is, whether a bombing or an attack or an error, it's now high time to unleash all of our rage & power against this criminal ruling class that thinks our lives are worthless.

Sheep applauding today price controls are the ones who will shout tomorrow for not finding anything on supermarket shelves. I assume they know nothing about economics, so I will explain it in an easy way, then in the actual way.

Supermarket X has 5 Coffee Mates on the shelve. Wannabe superhero Y forces X to lower the price of Coffee Mate. X sells the 5 at lower price, and to replace them, X can only buy 3. In 2 weeks, X sells the 3 and to replace them, X can only buy 1. X sells the 1 then closes forever.
The [easy] economic approach (1/3):
X wants to import Coffee Mates.
Y sets a below-market price for Coffee Mates.
X realizes that selling Coffee Mate isn't profitable.
X decides to stop importing Coffee Mates.
No more Coffee Mates on shelves.

Instead of opting for full Dollarization of economy, the government of #Lebanon is choosing full Lirafication. Lirafication is how Sulta will control us through hunger. I'll explain it in the following thread.

Full Dollarization: wipe out LBP entirely from the economy and replace it with USD, or real money that cannot be printed. Ecuador in 2000.
Full Lirafication: wipe out USD from the economy and replace with it LBP, or monopoly money that can be infinitely printed. Venezuela.

We first have to agree that the real value of the USD is the one of the (black) market, not any value artificially set by a central bank. Not 1507 LBP/USD, nor 2600 LBP/USD.
We also have to agree that Banque du Liban (BdL) can indefinitely print LBP but can't print a single USD.

Why are supermarket prices in #Lebanon so high? I'll explain with the following model.
Any big supermarket needs a loan to bring products to shelves. Loans are in USD.
Today, A, owner of SuperMarket, decides to buy 10 chickpea bags from the Lebanese producer, priced at 1,500LL each, or 1$. So A takes a 10$ bank loan, changes them to 15,000LL and buys the 10 bags.
“Hezbollah media relations: We have nothing to do with the motorcycle protest that descended on downtown Beirut this evening.” #LebanonProtests #لبنان__ينتفض
Small protests like this one in Hamra are springing up around Beirut, so it’s not just secluded to downtown. I hear there are also protesters gathered at the Central Bank, even more than yesterday. #LebanonProtests #لبنان__ينتفض
