1. The Lebanese lira And you’re just falling apart.
2. Accountability
To scare away the politicians.
3. A haircut Not the kind you get at the hair salon.
4. A 5-day investigation that lasts for years
and years and years…
5. An invisibility cloak To symbolize people’s deposits.
6. The currency exchange rate

7. An international auditing firm & you keep asking BDL for their documents.
8. M3allem el tel7eem Single-handedly responsible for most of Lebanon’s trauma this year.
9. A digital “ekhraj eid” Terrifying to government employees.
10. Lollars Are you a Lebanese lira? Are you a dollar? WHO KNOWS.
11. Fetouret el moteur All those zeros are the scariest thing you’ll see every month.
