Lebanon Industry Brief

AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Aviation: The US has lifted its 41-year ban on direct flights to Lebanon, opening the way for American carriers to consider Beirut routes. Flights are not set to resume immediately, and security concerns remain. Renewable Energy: Lebanon’s energy minister signed amended power-purchase agreements for two solar projects, while the government is planning three-year solar loans under its 2027 budget. Power and Transport: Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has outlined plans for cheaper electricity and more than 250 new buses, alongside tougher tax collection. Fuel Costs: Lebanon recorded a 73.6% rise in diesel prices between February and August, the second-steepest increase among countries assessed by UNCTAD, adding pressure on businesses and households.
