The official pegged pound rate of 1,507.5 to the dollar is available only for certain vital imports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In comments carried by Sunday\u2019s An-Nahar newspaper, Berri said Lebanon could not afford to remove Salameh just as it was entering negotiations with foreign bondholders after defaulting on debt obligations last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cLebanese will wake up to the price of the dollar at 15,000 pounds,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI am not defending Salameh or anyone, I am defending Lebanon. And if the central bank of Lebanon does not remain, then everyone knows that depositors\u2019 funds are gone forever.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The politically influential Maronite Christian patriarch said criticism of Salameh would only hurt Lebanon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cWe ask: who benefits from the destabilisation of the central bank governorship?\u201d said Patriarch Bechara Boutros Al-Rai. \u201cWe know the dire outcome, which is eliminating the confidence of the Lebanese people and (foreign) states in the constitutional foundations of the state.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Lebanon is governed according to a sectarian system that parcels out state positions according to religious group. The central bank governor is always a Maronite Christian while the premier is always a Sunni Muslim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Diab\u2019s government was formed in January with the support of the powerful Iranian-backed Shi\u2019ite movement Hezbollah, and has struggled to enact the economic reforms demanded by foreign donors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Gebran Bassil, head of President Michel Aoun\u2019s Maronite Christian party, echoed much of Diab\u2019s criticism of Salameh, saying the central bank bore \u201cgreat responsibility\u201d for losses of currency reserves and lack of transparency and coordination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He said the state must now \u201ccorrect\u201d these mistakes, denying that this would constitute a \u201ccoup against the free financial system or central bank independence\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The pound\u2019s rapid fall has triggered small protests and raised the prospect of price hikes and broader unrest at a time when unemployment has soared and a coronavirus lockdown has dealt an additional blow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">On Saturday, a small bomb was detonated outside a commercial bank in the southern city of Sidon, damaging its facade. A bank in the city of Tyre was attacked with petrol bombs early on Sunday, security sources said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The attacks did not result in any injuries and the assailants remain unknown, the security sources said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lebanese parliament speaker Nabih Berri has warned that removing the central bank governor would send the currency tumbling and threaten deposits, after the prime minister slammed Riad Salameh for the pound\u2019s fall.
