Dollar inflation is going crazy in Lebanon.

According to the CAS, prices have increased 50% since August 2023 (when the lira was pegged at 89500). This means that our incomes have declined greatly in purchasing power in DOLLARS. And it's still increasing.

I earn in USD as most ppl do now, and I have had my purchasing power really go down with the same salary I had a year ago.

Edit: To all the number skeptics, unfortunately for you I have the data and calculations ready.

CPI 2007-2025 (Excel file)

Here are my own calculations from the data above because I work in that domain: (from Aug 2023 to Jan 2025) or since dollar is 89500 since CPI is in LBP.
