Finance and Budget Committee head, MP Ibrahim Kanaan on Tuesday announced that all the outstanding items in the 2020 state budget have been completed.
"There remains article 22 that has to do with the banking situation and a pledge to implement the 5000 billion bill to reduce the remaining deficit; this matter will be discussed calmly and responsibly with the concerned authorities," Kanaan explained.
The lawmaker then disclosed an intention to call for a closed session to ask of the President of the Association of Banks in Lebanon, the Lebanese Central Bank Governor, and the Minister of Finance about the adopted mechanisms and to reassure people about their deposits.
Kanaan finally expressed belief that the current events across Lebanon, and their impact on the financial and economic situation, "will not go unnoticed".
"We are ready to communicate with those who wish to express their opinion from the scientific and technical community," he added.
