Description

We raised our GDP growth forecasts for Lebanon by 0.4ppts to 1.8% for 2025 and by 0.7ppts to 4.3% for 2026, both modestly above the upgraded consensus. The formation of a government earlier this year renewed the impetus for reform, leading to the recent passage of a bank restructuring law. We think external funding, including from the IMF, is conditional on finalising other key legislation, such as depositor compensation and the 2026 budget bill.
