Council of Ministers' decisions

During the Lebanese Cabinet session, the government focused on discussing and confirming several economic and financial issues. Among them was its approval of a project to convert liquefied natural gas (LNG) into natural gas using a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) in the Deir Ammar area, aiming to strengthen the energy sector through a public-private partnership. It also approved the establishment of the Supreme Council for Special Economic Zones and Technological Industries, in addition to modifying the daily attendance allowance for public sector employees to range between 500,000 and 800,000 Lebanese pounds, depending on the price of gasoline. In terms of financial support, an additional budget of approximately 1.45 trillion Lebanese pounds was authorized to support public drivers transporting passengers for three months due to rising fuel prices. A decree was also signed to amend family allowances, which now amount to 2.1 million Lebanese pounds for the spouse, and 1.16 million pounds for each dependent child, with payments covering the period from March to September 2026. The government confirmed that the draft budget for 2026 has been approved and sent to Parliament. It also mentioned the results of the Prime Minister's visit to the United States, which addressed issues beyond UNIFIL and cooperation with international institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, although some ministers expressed reservations about certain budget provisions.
