The representative of fuel distributors in Lebanon, Fadi Abu Chakra, said in a statement to Al-Manar website that the rise in the price of the dollar on the black market leads to an increase in fuel prices, accusing a bank in Lebanon of manipulating the dollar because it has companies that buy dollars from the market.
Abu Shakra added that the citizen today is on one side and the officials are on the other hand, and the burdens are borne by the citizen only.
Abu Chakra indicated that “the price of a barrel of diesel oil has risen globally, and from tomorrow it will rise in Lebanon to touch the 900,000 Lebanese pounds, wondering how the citizen can secure the price of heating oil during the winter?”
