Nasheelah for the East highlights wage increases

Lebanon is suffering from a deteriorating economic and social situation, where minimum wages of around $300 fall to less than one-third of the amount necessary to meet the needs of a stable life, according to experts' estimates. Conditions are worsening with the increasing daily bills related to housing, electricity, water, and food, amid an annual inflation rate of 16.66%. With struggling economies and projected a 6.4% contraction in GDP in 2026, Lebanese citizens live in a constant state of waiting for improvement, which reinforces a culture of habituation to crises and weakens trust in the future. The state’s inability to provide basic services and implement effective reforms exacerbates the situation. The crisis has reached a dangerous point where despair turns into a daily behavior, and future generations suffer significant losses from the erosion of the middle class and the emigration of skilled talents. Despite exhaustion among various parties, citizens remain committed to working and waiting, but if conditions continue as they are, a social explosion threatens to occur.
