Macro - Country Economic Forecast - Lebanon
High-frequency data underscore the continued decline in Lebanon's economy, though there are tentative signs of an improvement in momentum. The May PMI survey climbed to the highest level since 2016; that said, it remains below the neutral 50-mark, indicating weak demand. Moreover, business sentiment remains downbeat in the face of an uncertain post-election reform climate. Consequently, we have pushed back our expectations for recovery, lowering our 2022 GDP forecast to 0.3%, down from 0.9% previously.
