Banks Association affirms continuation of its strike

It added that the strike would continue "until announced otherwise."  

The banks in Lebanon have previously announced an open-ended strike to underline the need to find a solution to the current systemic crisis and to oppose judicial decisions related to disclosing information on those in charge of their management and shareholders.

 

Moreover, the banks are pushing the judicial authorities not to charge banks for money laundering as it would lead correspondent banks to cease operations with banks in Lebanon.
