As for Lebanon, the figures mentioned in the classification indicated that the average monthly income is $474. Based on this number, Lebanon was ranked ahead of Morocco in the Arab world, but this matter will not be accurate according to realistic data.
In practice, this aforementioned figure is old and inaccurate because it was linked to the former official dollar price of 1,500 Lebanese pounds, and the latest estimates in the classification did not notice the fluctuations in the exchange rate and the economic crisis.
In fact, the average monthly income in Lebanon has decreased by a large percentage, and there is a large segment of the Lebanese whose salaries do not exceed $100, especially those working in the public sector.
