Lebanon’s outgoing cabinet agreed to an economic recovery plan including several measures concerning the central bank which have been blocked by influential forces, Reuters reported.

The plan included carrying out a long-delayed audit of the central bank’s foreign exchange balance by the end of July, according to a leaked document. Once that was completed, the government would cancel a large proportion of the central bank’s foreign currency liabilities to Lebanese lenders, Reuters said.
