Lebanon Capital Controls Law
قانون رؤوس الأموال
Summary
Draft law to formalize withdrawal limits and capital restrictions imposed informally by Lebanese banks after the 2019 financial collapse.
Impact
Multiple draft versions failed to pass parliament; informal bank-level controls remained the de facto regime through the 2024 war.
