Dr. Paul Morcos, President of the Justicia Foundation, joined us to discuss this topic.

Fuel prices in Lebanon continue to fall, with the price of a bottle of gas falling by 18,000 Lebanese pounds to 292 thousand Lebanese pounds. Other fuel prices fell as well, becoming as follows: canister of gasoline 95 octane: 420,000 LBP, canister of gasoline 98 octane: 430,000 LBP, and diesel: 423,000 LBP.

According to Abou Chakra, a representative of fuel distributors, fuel prices have fallen due to a drop in global prices, after the Russian-Ukrainian crisis in Europe saw some stability in military operations and the international community did not fear being drawn into a full-fledged war, which led to a drop in the price of a kiloliter of gasoline in Europe. Today’s schedule is $66.93, and the dollar exchange rate has remained stable.
