LEBANON - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Lebanon has a free-market economy and a strong laissez-faire commercial
tradition. The government does not restrict foreign investment; however, the
investment climate suffers from red tape, corruption, arbitrary licensing
decisions, complex customs procedures, high taxes, tariffs, and fees, archaic
legislation, and weak intellectual property rights. The Lebanese economy is
service-oriented; main growth sectors include banking and tourism.
The 1975-90 civil war seriously damaged Lebanon's economic infrastructure,
cut national output by half, and derailed Lebanon's position as a Middle
Eastern entrepot and banking hub. Following the civil war, Lebanon rebuilt much
of its war-torn physical and financial infrastructure by borrowing heavily,
mostly from domestic banks, which saddled the government with a huge debt
burden. Pledges of economic and financial reforms made at separate
international donor conferences during the 2000s have mostly gone unfulfilled,
including those made during the Paris III Donor Conference in 2007, following
the July 2006 war.
Spillover from the Syrian conflict, including the influx of more than
1.1 million registered Syrian refugees, has increased internal tension and
slowed economic growth to the 1-2% range in 2011-17, after four years of
averaging 8% growth. Syrian refugees have increased the labor supply, but are
blamed for pushing more Lebanese into unemployment. Chronic fiscal deficits
have increased Lebanon’s debt-to-GDP ratio, the third highest in the world;
most of the debt is held internally by Lebanese banks. Weak economic growth
limits tax revenues, while the largest government expenditures remain debt
servicing, salaries for government workers, and transfers to the electricity
sector. These limitations constrain other government spending, limiting its
ability to invest in necessary infrastructure improvements, such as water,
electricity, and transportation. The Lebanese government in 2017 passed
initiatives to encourage foreign investment to improve the country’s
infrastructure and exploit offshore energy resources.
