Earlier this week, Électricité du Liban began cutting power to public agencies that had fallen behind on payments. It restored supply to those that had paid part of what they owed and pledged to pay the balance in installments. Government hospitals were exempted, while arrangements were made to supply the airport so it could continue operating. The Ministry of Public Works attributed the buildup of its arrears mainly to higher tariffs without a corresponding increase in appropriations. The government had previously approved a draft law to provide an additional $100 million in funding to cover electricity costs for public agencies. The article argues that regular payments require aligning budget appropriations with actual consumption costs, securing the remaining funding, carrying out the spending, and monitoring installment payments and new bills—so that debts do not build up again after settlements.
