Economy Minister: No Food or Fuel Shortages
Lebanese Economy Minister Amir Bassat confirmed that Lebanon is not currently experiencing a crisis in food supplies, wheat, or fuel, despite international and regional challenges. He explained that the stock of food commodities is sufficient for more than three months, medicines for four months, while the wheat stock lasts less than three months. Fuel reserves are less than two weeks due to delayed vessel arrivals, although four ships are expected to arrive within the week. He also highlighted the ministry's efforts to postpone price hikes on imported goods by using last year's average to avoid an economic shock, warning of a possible increase of more than 15% if global prices continue to rise. Additionally, he emphasized that food safety is a top priority for the ministry, which destroys many non-compliant products each month and refers offenders to the judiciary.
