Reviving Lebanon’s Economy

Lebanon’s economy has a rare opportunity for revival amidst compounded crises. Since 2019, the country has faced economic instability, limited state capacity, compromised sovereignty, and persistent regional tensions.

The recent proposal by United States Special Envoy Tom Barrack reaffirmed the need to centralize all arms under state control, while renewing focus on border demarcations with Syria and Israel.

The firm stance showed by several international donors — no aid without disarmament — underscores that true recovery hinges on addressing these security challenges directly.

Restoring both domestic and international confidence in the Lebanese government will ultimately depend on taking tangible steps towards economic revival. An independent judiciary, transparent governance, and enforceable regulations are non-negotiable measures for signaling Lebanon’s commitment to credible economic governance.

Author summary: Lebanon needs economic revival.
