The Governor of the Central bank, Riad Salameh, pointed out that "he has asked the Ministry of Energy to determine the country's needs, including fuel and others, and which companies should be distributed to in order to meet the needs of the citizen until there is a clear plan."

Salameh indicated that "there is an effort to rationalize the issue of the food basket, and it is no secret that exploitation and smuggling are taking place, and we are working to have a card for every Lebanese to buy with a value of 1515 LL dollars.

“No bank will go bankrupt, and we have taken a decision that the bank that cannot secure the requirements in terms of liquidity or capital will be owned by the Banque du Liban, and the rights remain reserved.”
A "deep" explosion was heard in South Lebanon near Aita.

Bank of Beirut began a mass layoff process for its employees as part of a plan to reduce its expenses and close new branches.

The process included about 600 employees out of 2000, to be added to 100 employees, bringing the total number of employees fired to about 700 employees. https://t.co/TSUMK8zTdE
As for the target number for firing, it is 800 employees.

The head of the bank is the head of the association of the banks. The corrupt is going to deny 800 families of their income to try to fix his mistakes of mismanaging a bank and bankrupting it. https://t.co/9UI3UIEGkQ
President Aoun asked the King of Jordan in a phone call to intervene to facilitate the passage of Lebanese trucks at the Jordanian Jaber crossing, and King Abdullah responded and gave his orders.

After the trucks leave Lebanon, they pass through Syria, and then Jaber crossing. https://t.co/sd472yw4OO
That's amazing news that Lebanon is finally going to resume trade through Syria and Jordan. Hopefully Lebanon finally re-establishes active diplomatic relationship with Syria for the mutual benefit of both countries.
