can you explain to me how someone earning 300.000LL per month will be able to pay his Phone bill, his electricity bill, his transportations expenses and buying his needs in the whole month ?? that if we considered that he is single and doesen't have a wife and children who have to go to school etc...


yes the price of one oil barrel doubled since last year, but the government in Lebanon is still taking 10$ as a tax on each "tankeh" .. the reduction of this tax to 5.00$ will not harm them.
yes but the increase to 960 000 LL wont have that positive impact , cuz if the minimum wages increase to 960 000 ll that means wages will be higher , and prices will go relatively higher.
if u have a market and u have an employee , it used to cost u 200$ now it will cost 640$ , that increase will go in prices, inflation will be higher than before
