Heavy demand at exchange offices amid expectations of a decline in the price of the dollar

Activists on social media circulated a video clip showing huge crowding in exchange offices in the city of Tripoli, on Wednesday evening.

Information reported that this heavy demand by citizens to buy the lira and sell the dollar comes in anticipation of a possible decline in the price of the American currency, in light of expectations that a new president of the republic will be elected in the coming hours.

These moves reflect citizens’ optimism that economic conditions will improve in the event of a political breakthrough and an end to the presidential vacuum.
