The Council of Ministers site (pcm.gov.lb) returned errors to automated access on 13 October 2026; the presidency site names the President but lists no ministers, so ministers are sourced. The CIA World Leaders list (last updated 27 March 2025) names Amin Salam as Minister of Economy and Trade; Wikipedia's cabinet table and Amer Bisat's page name Bisat, which is used. No page opened reports a change of minister since February 2025, but no current official list could be checked. Ministerial start dates are the formation date of the government. Transliterations vary between sources.
