NNA - The Lebanese Ministry of Economy and Trade set on Thursday the new price of a bundle of bread as follows:

- Small bread bundle weighing 365 grams for LBP 9000

- Medium-sized bundle weighing 825 grams for LBP 15,000

The new price hike is due to the significant increase in fuel prices, which directly affects the price of flour and the cost of producing a bundle of bread, in addition to the rise in the price of wheat in international markets due to the Ukrainian crisis, and the increase in the US dollar exchange rate in the black market.
