Original review summary

The review concludes that the plan did not restore the utility’s financial balance: debts remained outstanding despite the new pricing system. It also cites the utility’s reliance on Iraqi fuel and unpaid fuel obligations as evidence that it still could not cover its costs independently.[S1]

Additional context

The review says the new tariff system was adopted in 2022 and linked to oil prices and the exchange rate. It also reports that Lebanon experienced a nationwide blackout in August 2024 amid unpaid Iraqi fuel obligations. [S1]
