A paper published by the IMF in October 2014, Designing a Fiscal Framework for a Prospective Commodity Producer: Options for Lebanon, and reflecting the views of its authors Mariusz Jarmuzek, Diego Mesa Puyo, and Najla Nakhle, addresses the changes that Lebanon will need to adopt in preparation for its expected transformation into a gas producer. The authors highlight the importance of designing an appropriate fiscal regime that achieves an equilibrium between a fair share of revenue for the government and appropriate incentives to invest and develop the sector for investors.
