Prime Minister Najib Mikati was the guest of honor at the event, and he emphasized the importance of cooperation and reforms to overcome the current challenges facing Lebanon.

The Prime Minister recognized the combined efforts of the Regie, SCOPSIS, and OpSec Security in launching and implementing the program, which has initially focused on tobacco product authentication and could potentially expand into other public sectors.

Seklaoui further praised the fruitful cooperation with the Minister of Finance, Dr. Youssef Al-Khalil, to portray the keenness of adopting necessary measures to support the Regie’s work. Despite his emphasis on maintaining economic stability, Eng.

With a 360-degree view of product movements in the supply chain, officials can obtain live data insights and combat counterfeit techniques. Ultimately, the Digital Tax Stamp solution aims to legitimize the trade industry, promote transparency, and good governance, demonstrating the commitment of SCOPSIS and OpSec Security to promoting ethical practices in the industry.

Mohamad Ali Ahmad, VP – Government Solutions at SCOPSIS in Beirut, stated that, “The initial phase of this project is a proactive step towards adopting the provisions of the World Health Organization’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC). Besides preventing illicit trade and safeguarding Lebanon’s much-needed revenue, this project will be a shining example for other countries in the region, demonstrating Lebanon’s commitment to reform and progress.”

The event displayed the importance of Lebanon’s pathway to reforms and how the benefits will be able to aid the country. The Digital Tax Stamp solution represents a critical tool in ensuring compliance with international regulations, increasing transparency in the supply chain, and boosting consumer trust.
