Lebanon has recorded large financial crisis over the years. It might continue to hit their financial position but due to the blast in the country the movement in the world of cryptocurrency will not be impacted. More so, as the market of cryptocurrency in Lebanon is not as big as compared to other countries like the United States.
The country’s economy is primarily based on services with the tourism sector responsible for a large portion of Lebanon’s GDP. It imports 80% of the products which includes oil, meat, grain, and other supplies.
