This article by Judge Mohamad Fawaz tackles the subject of hyperinflation in Lebanon.
The article focuses on the six exchange rates applicable in Lebanon and suggests the one that should be applied by Lebanese courts when they settle conflicts relevant to contractual debts denominated in US dollars.
The current financial crisis put Lebanon in second place for the highest inflation rates in 2022 after Sudan.
The Lebanese currency (i.e., LBP) lost more than 95% of its purchasing power and depreciated to the extent where the Exchange Rate reached LBP 40,000 per US dollar after remaining equal to LBP 1,507.5 per US dollar between December 1997 and October 2019.
In October 2019, Lebanon plunged into an unparalleled fiscal and economic crisis that put the country in 4th position for the highest inflation rates in 2020 preceded by Venezuela, Zimbabwe and Sudan.
