Bloomberg reports that the International Monetary Fund and Lebanon are discussing options for fast-track financial assistance to help the country absorb the impact of the Middle East war, citing people familiar with the matter.
The outlet reports that the conversations revolve around a financing instrument that would give Lebanon access to between $800 million and $1 billion, citing one of those people familiar, who asked not to be identified because the talks are private.
“The money would be earmarked for budget support and humanitarian response,” Bloomberg adds.
