Overview
Lebanon's gdp stood at $28.3B in 2024, a rise of +$4.7B from 2023. Lebanon ranked 91st globally.
Lebanon’s nominal gross domestic product has risen from a low of 2,621,000,000.00 in 1982, the all‑time trough recorded during the civil war, to a peak of 54,901,519,155.56 in 2018, before contracting to 28,280,000,000.00 in 2024, which places the country at rank 91 globally. Over the 45‑year series, the economy expanded more than twenty‑sixfold, reflecting periods of post‑war reconstruction, a brief boom driven by services and remittances, and a sharp reversal after the 2019 fiscal crisis and the 2020 financial collapse. By contrast, peer economies such as Albania (US$27,046,429,296.67) and Bosnia and Herzegovina (US$29,613,572,022.90) have maintained more modest but steadier trajectories, underscoring Lebanon’s vulnerability to political instability and external shocks. Continued fiscal reforms, stabilization of the banking sector, and restoration of investor confidence will be critical to reversing the recent downward trend and sustaining any future growth.
