Lebanon is to default on a foreign debt payment for the first time in its hist
ory as the country struggles with a major financial crisis.
Prime Minister Hassan Diab said Lebanon would not be making a bond payment of
$1.2bn (ꌹ00m) due on Monday.
黎巴嫩总理哈桑楹}亚卜7日宣布，因外汇储备短缺，黎巴嫩将不会支付9日到期的12亿美
元债券债务。
"The debt has become bigger than Lebanon can bear, and bigger than the ability
of the Lebanese to meet interest payments," Mr Diab said.
Lebanon has been struggling since the value of its currency plummeted.
The Lebanese pound has been losing value against the dollar for months, in par
t because the country's banks have been reluctant to convert local pounds to d
ollars - leading to an increase in demand for the latter.
This issue with foreign exchange has led to importers having difficulty access
ing goods, which have become more expensive. Those with savings have also been
affected by the drop in value of the local currency.
In a live televised address on Saturday, Mr Diab said that negotiations to res
tructure the country's debt, which stands at more than $30bn, would continue "
with all creditors... in a manner consistent with the national interest".
他表示，接下来黎巴嫩政府将与债权人展开谈判，以重组债务。据悉，黎巴嫩今年共面临
大约46亿美元的到期债券债务。
Mr Diab added that more than 40% of the population could soon be in poverty as
Lebanon tackles its worst economic crisis in decades.
The 61-year-old became prime minister in January as part of a new government t
hat formed after protests over the failure of leaders to deal with the economi
c crisis turned violent

去年底黎巴嫩持续爆发反政府示威
看来这只是今年债务连环爆的序曲
通货紧缩之下过去的杠杆都是利刃
大家真的要勒紧裤带了
迟早会有一堆人付不出钱
重蹈十年前的覆辙
