Need for International Support for Reconstruction
Nawaf Salam emphasized in a public session in the Lebanese Parliament that the extent of damages caused by the war and crises exceeds the financial capacity of the Lebanese government, and that real reconstruction of the country requires financial support and international cooperation. He stated that the costs resulting from the recent war are estimated to reach around $14 billion, including material and economic damages.
Salam also stressed the necessity of financial discipline and the implementation of structural reforms, saying: "To achieve sustainable reconstruction, trust between the government and the people must be established. This trust requires an efficient government that can manage financial conditions."
