IMF begins visit as Lebanon grapples with financial crisis - Reuters
The IMF has said its team will stay until Feb. 23 to provide broad technical advice. Lebanon has not requested financial assistance from the Fund as it draws up a plan to confront the crisis.
"The Fund is giving its view in light of the present circumstances and the financial, economic and reform measures Lebanon needs," Finance Minister Ghazi Wazni said in a statement issued by the prime minister's office.
"The Fund delegation will continue its work until the completion of cooperation with Lebanon to prepare the plan," Wazni said.
