Stations do not cover operational costs

The article reveals that gas stations in Lebanon are struggling with the failure to cover the commission rates set by the Ministry of Energy and Water for operational costs. Costs have risen significantly due to higher municipal fees, social security contributions, work permits, and generator operation expenses, all while sales have declined by between 20% and 30%. It also notes that the government has neither alleviated the operational burdens nor provided adequate support; instead, it has increased taxes and fees, putting station owners in a difficult financial position. Nevertheless, the union has refrained from escalating the situation through strikes for now, continuing negotiations to secure their rights and stabilize the sector.
