Lebanon is in the throes of an economic meltdown described by the World Bank as one of the deepest depressions of modern times. The local currency has lost 90% of its value and three quarters of its population is in poverty. Mikati"s cabinet, which is focused on re-starting talks with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to unlock much needed foreign aid, has been in political paralysis since an argument over the lead investigator of the Beirut port blast probe disrupted a meeting. Mikati had said he would not call for another cabinet meeting until a framework for a solution over the matter was reached.
