Council approves budget and allowance plan
The Lebanese Cabinet approved the draft budget for the current fiscal year, with some amendments, in addition to approving support for the Lebanese Army and a decree to amend family allowances. Ministers of the Lebanese Forces expressed reservations on some items in protest against the rejection of the proposal to abolish the 300,000 lira fee on fuel sheets. While the government attempted to address the inflation crisis by providing support to public drivers and reducing the daily transportation allowance, the economic crisis remained unresolved, with the decision on the fee deferred. Meanwhile, observers criticized the budget for lacking essential measures to address the debt and assist depositors.
