La Banque mondiale prévoit une contraction de 6,4 % de l'économie libanaise en 2026, après une croissance estimée à 4,2 % en 2025, selon son Lebanon Economic Monitor rapporté par Al Jazeera et L'Orient Today.

Elle cite l'escalade de mars 2026, qui a endommagé logements et infrastructures, déplacé des populations et frappé le tourisme et la demande. L'inflation devrait atteindre 17,5 %.

France 24 relève aujourd'hui que la hausse des prix pèse sur les ménages.

Dahlia Khalifa, directrice régionale, juge la restructuration bancaire et la rigueur budgétaire essentielles pour restaurer la confiance et financer la reconstruction.
