- Thursday | 17th October, 2019
BEIRUT (Reuters) – Lebanon’s cabinet has agreed to impose a fee on calls over WhatsApp and other similar applications, as part of efforts to raise revenues in the country’s 2020 draft budget, a minister said on Thursday. But keep in mind anyone can send voice messages, photos, and videos without any cost,” said Hariri. Lebanon is under pressure to approve the 2020 budget to unlock some $11 billion pledged at a donor conference last year, conditional on fiscal and other reforms. Hariri has said the government would work to further reduce the 2020 budget deficit. After ministers agree the 2020 draft budget, they must send it to parliament for approval.
