Finance Minister warns on waste fees

The ministerial meeting in Lebanon discussed modifying environmental fees on waste-producing materials to ease the economic and social burdens resulting from the costs of waste collection and processing. Finance Minister Yassin Jaber explained that the Municipal Fund is suffering from a significant financial deficit, and the proposed solutions include imposing fees upon import and levying taxes on municipalities, along with overseeing new tenders to ensure the continuity of services. He emphasized that ongoing funding for waste management from the general treasury is not feasible and highlighted the importance of activating the responsibilities of municipalities and the private sector to avoid a new waste crisis in Lebanon.
