Information Minister Paul Morcos said on Wednesday that the 2026 budget law draft will be completed on Thursday or Friday after the cabinet convenes to review it.
“The government is examining the budget realistically, and we are working to secure revenues to meet the needs of the administrative corps, which has salaries and legitimate demands,” stated Morcos.
He added, “The government has extensively discussed the 2026 budget, and our concern is to achieve a balance between revenues and expenditures to avoid a deficit.”
Furthermore, Morcos said that Prime Minister Nawaf Salam took the opportunity to commend the efforts of the Lebanese Army, which on Wednesday seized the largest quantity of drugs on Lebanese territory during a raid on a facility in Bouday, Baalbeck. Approximately 64 million Captagon pills and 79 barrels of chemicals used for drug manufacturing were seized.
