Ajaka is not only in favor of the new measure but also supports a higher increase in flat tax on imports by up to 8 percent to protect local industries.
"All of the products that are consumed by low income people are produced in Lebanon," he said.
Ajaka called upon Lebanese officials to prevent traders from raising their prices following this new measure.
"We expect traders to complain about this new measure but we have now entered a phase where we should protect local industry from foreign competition," he said.
Industry Minister Wael Abou Faour announced few days ago during a joint press conference with economy minister that the economy ministry will make sure to control prices in the Lebanese market.
