BEIRUT- Lebanon's finance minister said on Monday all parties to an agreement for the issuance of low interest rate treasury bonds remained committed to the deal, which is expected to slash the debt servicing costs in the 2019 budget.

Ali Hassan Khalil told MTV that implementation of the agreement with the banking sector for the issuance of treasury bonds valued at 11,000 billion Lebanese pounds ($7.3 billion) was expected to begin, the broadcaster said on its Twitter feed.

"This matter is consensual with mutual understanding and the main element of it is Banque Du Liban," he said, in reference to the central bank.
