The Gap Law: Lebanon’s Exit Strategy or Its Final Foreclosure?
Today, the Proposed Gap Law sits before Parliament. It is the only legislative vehicle available to end the vacuum that is currently our greatest enemy. We cannot afford to reject the law, but we must advocate for its refinement. The law deserves credit for imposing a necessary formal framework. It aims to introduce accountability (though this must be strengthened) and to penalize those who exploited the crisis. Much like previous aborted plans, it seeks to protect small depositors and respect the hierarchy of claims, even if these principles should be more explicitly stated. However, if we allow it to pass as a simple mechanism for distributing losses over two decades, we are not solving the crisis; we are simply institutionalizing it.

Banque du Liban Mandatory Reserve Loses About 4 Billion Dollars So Far
A banking source warned against the "dangerous situation related to the continued spending from the USD mandatory reserve in the BDL and its shortage.
According to the source, this mandatory reserve is the depositors' remaining funds transferred by the banks to the BDL, following the latter’s circular.
The Central Bank imposed a deposit of 15% of banks' total USD deposits, which was later reduced to 14%.
“The current reserve in the BDL is supposed to be within 13.3 billion dollars, while the available reserve reaches about 9.45 billion dollars. Therefore, "the mandatory reserve lost about 4 billion dollars so far," the source added.
