This condition was emphasized by EU Commissioner for the Mediterranean, Dubravka Suica, during her recent visit to Lebanon, where she highlighted the necessity of restructuring Lebanon's banking sector. Despite a draft agreement with the IMF in 2022, Lebanon has yet to enact the required reforms to access the associated funding.
