Depositors for years have protested at the banks, demanding their trapped savings bank, as they struggle from an economic crisis that has plunged over three-quarters of the tiny country's population into poverty. Lebanese banks since late 2019 have enforced formal capital controls due to currency shortages, severely restricting people's savings. Lebanon has yet to enforce financial reforms that would restructure the banks and its battered economy. (Photo by Hassan Ammar/AP Photo)
