BEIRUT Dec 3 (Reuters) - Lebanon may refinance some of its debts due in 2010, Finance Minister Raya Haffar al-Hassan said on Thursday.

"There has been a swap before and the atmosphere is suitable for us to maybe refinance (not reschedule) some of the debts due in 2010. We have to look and see how the market situation is but for sure it seems that we can (do this) to ease the burden of the debt," she said.
