“RED TV”
Episode 315 Economy discussed with economic expert Dr. Mazen Jabri the file of the expanding economic contraction in Lebanon, the rising cost of living, the decline in investments, and the continuing repercussions of the war.
I tried to answer the following question: Is the Lebanese economy facing a new phase of pressure, and what is the extent of the losses incurred by the private sector and productive sectors?
Can the Lebanese economy survive by relying on expatriates and consumption? Or will it be just a new palliative for a chronic crisis?
Does Lebanon have the ingredients for recovery, or has deflation become a new path for the Lebanese economy?
The episode also touched on the decline in the purchasing power of the citizen, and the extent of the resilience of institutions and companies, passing through tourism, remittances and investments, all the way to financial and banking reforms and the future of deposits.
