BEIRUT (Reuters) - Like many Lebanese expatriates, Nadim Srour wired savings back as a nest egg for his return. Banks also limit how much savers can withdraw. Although he has money in the bank, his family can only take out the equivalent of $1,000 a month. He can only withdraw $700 a month from the bank and has turned to the generosity of friends to help rebuild his home. For some, like Srour, this is a fresh reminder of why they went abroad to work in the past.
