Output growth in Lebanon has fallen sharply since the onset of the Syrian crisis and is too low to accommodate new job seekers, or to address the needs of Lebanon’s more vulnerable population. Moreover, low growth is taking a toll on public debt dynamics, raising the prospect of higher borrowing costs and constrained social and investment spending—both are much needed to improve the quality of public spending and direct it toward more useful and productive uses. The authorities have presented an ambitious proposal to the international community, which centers on a multiyear effort to stimulate growth and employment through a targeted series of investment initiatives.IMF Staff Country Reports; Country Report ;No. 2017/020RefugeesLebanonRefugeesCapital stockExports and ImportsimfLaborimfMacroeconomicsimfPublic FinanceimfTaxationimfTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: GeneralimfBusiness Taxes and SubsidiesimfRemittancesimfEmploymentimfUnemploymentimfWagesimfIntergenerational Income DistributionimfAggregate Human CapitalimfAggregate Labor ProductivityimfDemand and Supply of Labor: GeneralimfPublic finance & taxationimfLabourimfincome economicsimfInternational economicsimfInvestment & securitiesimfValue-added taximfLabor marketsimfRevenue administrationimfOil pricesimfTaxesimfBalance of paymentsimfTax gapimfRevenue performance assessmentimfLabor marketimfSpendings taximfInternational financeimfIncome taximfRevenueimfLebanonEconomic conditionsLebanonimfRefugeesRefugees.Capital stock.Exports and ImportsLaborMacroeconomicsPublic FinanceTaxationTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: GeneralBusiness Taxes and SubsidiesRemittancesEmploymentUnemploymentWagesIntergenerational Income DistributionAggregate Human CapitalAggregate Labor ProductivityDemand and Supply of Labor: GeneralPublic finance & taxationLabourincome economicsInternational economicsInvestment & securitiesValue-added taxLabor marketsRevenue administrationOil pricesTaxesBalance of paymentsTax gapRevenue performance assessmentLabor marketSpendings taxInternational financeIncome taxRevenue330.9569204DcWaIMFBOOK9910162923303321Lebanon226843UNINA
