3. Figure of the Week: 800,000 Vehicles in Lebanon Without Mandatory Insurance

In 2024, out of the 2,000,000 vehicles in Lebanon's automotive fleet, 800,000 are not registered with the Vehicle Registration Department and, as a result, lack mandatory auto liability insurance. This means there is roughly one car for every two residents, in a country where public transportation is virtually non-existent.
The mandatory third-party liability insurance, which covers bodily injury to others, was introduced in January 2003.
