This week practically begins with three tests, leading up to next Thursday, which will be a significant day regarding the presidential elections, whether within the remaining time of this year or into next year, if intentions are good, amidst fears of ongoing Christian disagreements over the presidential consensus.
- **The first test:** Economic, related to the trajectory of the dollar in the black market, and the extent of its increase, alongside discussions about halting "Sayrafa" for citizens.
- **The second test:** Legislative, related to the seriousness of the joint committees in progressing towards the approval of the capital control law, to enter the next year with an understanding of the recovery plan, reforms, and the recovery of deposits, as well as the looted funds—or the decision to overlook them, considering what has been written and what has been looted!
- **The third test:** Presidential, concerning the dialogue over reaching a consensus on a candidate for the presidency. According to available information, President Nabih Berri has received responses from some blocs and is waiting today and tomorrow until Wednesday for the remaining replies, to act accordingly.
