The intensification of the war in Lebanon from September 2024 has constituted an additional shock on the Lebanese economy. The World Bank estimates the impact of the conflict on real growth at -6.6% at a minimum in 2024. Its growth forecast for 2024 now stands at -5.7%, given that Lebanon has already experienced a contraction in its real GDP of -34% in 5 years, erasing the equivalent of 15 years of growth gains.
