You won’t want to miss this conversation with Michel Jabbour as he shares his experience as a Lebanese-Canadian navigating the economic crisis in Lebanon, particularly the hyperinflation of the lira and the government's controversial policies. (I still can’t get over the WhatsApp tax 😳)
Once again, I promise you’ll definitely learn something new. For example, I had no idea that:
✔ Online banking still hasn’t taken off in Lebanon
✔ The lira’s exchange rate surpassed LBP 89,000 to USD 1
✔ Lebanese society is incredibly diverse — culturally and religiously
✔ …and so much more 🙏
