Cabinet approves budget and boosts transport allowance

The Lebanese Cabinet, chaired by Nofal Salameh, focused its decisions on approving the 2027 budget proposal. The plan includes supporting public drivers by increasing their transportation allowances to match the cost of five liters of gasoline daily, with a minimum of 500,000 Lebanese Lira and a maximum of 800,000 Lira per day, based on the official average gasoline price. The council also approved an adjustment to the attendance allowance for employees, setting it between 500,000 and 800,000 Lira daily. Additionally, a financial support of 1,450 billion Lebanese Lira was allocated to assist drivers over three months due to rising fuel prices. The cabinet also approved the establishment of the Higher Council for Economic Zones and Technological Industries, abolished some positions within the Ministry of Health as part of reforms, and approved logistical support for the army and security forces. Lastly, a decree was issued to amend family allowances, which will be disbursed starting in March and October 2026.
