2^min

President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun, signed a decree to open an exceptional appropriation in the general budget for year 2020, amounting 100 billion Lebanese pounds, for compensating those affected by the Beirut Port explosion, based on a mechanism established by the Army Command and Beirut Governorate, and based on nominal schedules prepared by the army in accordance with the principle of priority.

It is noted that this approval was opened at the request of President Aoun and based on Article 85 of the constitution, which allows the President of the Republic, if urgent emergency circumstances require, to take a decree based on a decision issued by the Council of Ministers to open extraordinary or additional appropriations and transfer funds in the budget, provided that these appropriations do not exceed the limit specified in the Budget Law.
