PARIS (Reuters) - Lebanon faces a chaotic unwinding of its economy and increased instability if it does not enact swift reforms that give international financial institutions the confidence to offer support, the country's international support group said.
Grappling with its worst economic crisis since the 1975-90 civil war, Lebanon has been politically paralysed since Saad al-Hariri quit as prime minister after mass protests against the ruling elite. The pound currency has slumped and banks have enforced capital controls.
