    So a few of my followers told me that they disliked what they felt was my excessive pessimism regarding the Lebanese economic situation. Forgive me, but I don’t know how to put this lightly: our central bank stole an entire population’s life savings to fund a corrupt government

    Friendly advice: You really shouldn’t be tweeting anything that looks like this if you haven’t got the first idea about epidemiology. Makes you look awfully stupid.

    A holy fool relies on information at hand, without recourse to any priors, to identify deceit. They end up with many false positives because their previous experience does not bias them, but are effective at catching cheaters. They are society’s much needed whistle-blowers.

    As a couple of people correctly predicted, this tweet ended up aging VERY poorly. I’m back for good. I couldn’t get myself to stay away for any length of time.

    Friends, I decided to go on a break. Being hyperconnected has been draining, and it finally got to me. I will be checking my DMs intermittently. Stay strong, .

    Lebanon is a small open economy with significantly import-dependent economic growth. Assuming that we could fix our economic problems by merely reducing imports in the short-run is shortsighted. The adverse effects of closing the economy on economic growth are underestimated.

    There is an odd duality as a result of capital controls. On 1 hand, the # of card transactions is likely to increase significantly, because balance limits remain much higher then cash withdrawal limits, thus reducing the size of the shadow economy. 1/2

    For whatever it's worth, this is my take on restructuring Lebanese banks. Whatever route we take, it is going to be messy, and it may involve BdL taking over some troubled banks. Also, unconditional bailouts should not be allowed under any circumstance.

    The distinction Lebanese banks put between "fresh dollars" and "current account dollars" is the biggest organized theft this country has ever witnessed.

    He’s right, you know. Unless another benevolent nation is willing to extend us a soft loan with better terms than a potential IMF deal.

    My mother’s bank informed her today that she will no longer be able to withdraw USD banknotes from her USD current account unless she freezes the money for six months in a savings account, in which case they will allow her to withdraw $100/week for the upcoming month. What?!?!?!

    يمتثل حاكم المركزي الاميركي أمام الكونغرس مرتين في السنة، حيث يستجوب من قبل لجنة المال في مجلس النواب لمدة ٤ ساعات عن كل الأمور المالية والاقتصادية. وفي اليوم التالي يعاود نفس الإستجواب أمام لجنة في مجلس الشيوخ. كل مرة يكون الإستجواب علني وينقل على الهواء مباشرتا
