00:00 I look at things in general.
00:03 Today, the war in Gaza has had a great impact on the Lebanese economy.
00:08 It has led to a decline in several sectors, the tourism sector, the agricultural sector,
00:13 and especially more than 70,000 Lebanese citizens from the south have been displaced.
00:19 This crisis adds to the repeated and ongoing Lebanese crises of about four years,
00:27 which include financial, critical and most importantly, economic and social crises.
00:34 We must work to restore the economic reform system in Lebanon,
00:42 to restore confidence, to restore the prosperity and to protect the citizens,
00:46 given the great rise in the levels of inflation.
00:50 These are the priorities that Lebanon needs today.
00:54 We are not going to agree with the IMF or not,
00:57 but these are the priorities that can gradually restore the Lebanese economy to prosperity.
