Lebanese central bank governor Riad Salameh said Tuesday the bank's foreign currency reserves had dropped by $2.2 billion so far in 2022 to about $11 billion, about a third of the level three years ago.
Salameh made the comments during a recorded interview with Lebanon's LBCI TV. As the interview aired, state security forces were raiding a home he owns northeast of Beirut as part of a judge's probe into alleged misconduct and corruption.
