Lebanon’s energy minister said on Thursday that the country’s petrol subsidy was unsustainable and would eventually come to an end. “We have to get used to and be convinced that this subsidy that we benefitted from for a year or a year and a half … will end,” Raymond Ghajar said after a parliamentary meeting.
