Lebanon Minister Hopes for Outside Cash, Can't Confirm Qatar Aid - Bloomberg:

Lebanon’s caretaker economy minister said his embattled country is hopeful of getting outside financial support, but couldn’t confirm that Qatar is prepared to deposit $1 billion with the central bank.

Speaking on Sunday in Beirut on the sidelines of an Arab economic summit, Raed Khoury said other officials had told him of Qatar’s deposit with Lebanon’s central bank, which was reported by local media.

“We hope that this is true as well, and we hope other countries participate in the same manner as well,” Khoury said in an interview.
