Following a sharp drop in 2011, growth edged upward briefly to 2–3 percent, but has now slowed again. The IMF staff estimates that GDP increased by 1 percent in 2015, and a similar growth rate in 2016 is projected. Lebanon’s traditional growth drivers—tourism, real estate, and construction—have received a significant blow and a strong rebound is unlikely based on current trends. In the absence of a turnaround in confidence, or a resolution of the Syrian conflict, growth is unlikely to return to potential (4 percent) soon.IMF Staff Country Reports; Country Report ;No. 2017/019Banks and BankingimfFinance: GeneralimfForeign ExchangeimfMacroeconomicsimfPublic FinanceimfStatisticsimfDebtimfDebt ManagementimfSovereign DebtimfBanksimfDepository InstitutionsimfMicro Finance InstitutionsimfMortgagesimfGeneral Financial Markets: Government Policy and RegulationimfTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: GeneralimfEnergy: Demand and SupplyimfPricesimfPublic finance & taxationimfBankingimfCurrencyimfForeign exchangeimfFinanceimfEconometrics & economic statisticsimfPublic debtimfRevenue administrationimfNational accountsimfOil pricesimfDebts, PublicimfBanks and bankingimfFinancial services industryimfRevenueimfLebanonEconomic conditionsLebanonimfBanks and BankingFinance: GeneralForeign ExchangeMacroeconomicsPublic FinanceStatisticsDebtDebt ManagementSovereign DebtBanksDepository InstitutionsMicro Finance InstitutionsMortgagesGeneral Financial Markets: Government Policy and RegulationTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: GeneralEnergy: Demand and SupplyPricesPublic finance & taxationBankingCurrencyForeign exchangeFinanceEconometrics & economic statisticsPublic debtRevenue administrationNational accountsOil pricesDebts, PublicBanks and bankingFinancial services industryRevenue330.9569204DcWaIMFBOOK9910162924603321Lebanon226843UNINA
