O ministro libanês das Finanças, Yassine Jaber, reuniu-se em Bangkok com a diretora-gerente do FMI, Kristalina Georgieva, à margem das reuniões do FMI e do Banco Mundial, segundo a Agência de Notícias do Catar.

Reafirmou o compromisso do Líbano com as reformas e a estabilidade macroeconômica e o objetivo de um programa apoiado pelo FMI para recuperação, reconstrução e crescimento, e pediu ajuda para mobilizar recursos humanitários, emergenciais e de reconstrução.

Nenhum acordo foi anunciado. O Banco Mundial projeta contração de 6,4% da economia libanesa em 2026 por causa da guerra.
