١- ما صدر عن مصرف لبنان بانه سوف يطلب من المصارف دفع بالدولار لاصحاب الودائع ما دون٥ ٢الف دولار بالتقسيط الشهري (اعتقد ٢٠٠ الى ٣٠٠$ شهرياً) ما هو الا تخفيض لعدد المواطنين الذين سوف يستفيدون من البطاقة التموينية

What is something you learned in the last decade that you would not have believed? I'll start: 1. Local currency exchange rate is stable inspite of inflation rates. 2. Public deficit is just a figure with a minus sign. Nations do not feel the squeeze for cash like humans do 3..

٤- يعني تخف على الدولة قيمة الدعم، و يزيد مصرف لبنان عرض الدولار في السوق تمهيداً لاطلاق المنصة. فبدل ان يبيع مصرف لبنان الدولار بواسطة المنصة، سيدعم المنصة "بتفليت"٢٠ الى ٤٠ مليون دولار شهرياً من اموال المودعين و يستغني عن اعطائهم بطاقات الدعم بالوقت ذاته.
