President Michel Aoun on Wednesday reiterated the accusation that some parties are “manipulating the dollar exchange rate,” which has been fluctuating in recent days.
“Some are manipulating the financial issues and the dollar exchange rate, which is negatively reflecting on citizens, amid reports by local and international experts indicating the presence of sides seeking to aggravate the situation, some of whom are in power,” Aoun said.
Separately, the president added that he believes in “Lebanon’s rise” and is “working for this matter.”
“We must cooperate to reach this goal and achieve the welfare of the Lebanese,” Aoun went on to say, hoping the next president “will work according to a clear roadmap.”
