It examines the drivers of GDP fluctuation, unemployment, inflation, and trade upheavals that have defined the economic condition in Lebanon over recent years and details the responses to the refugee crisis both within Lebanon and within the international community.

Practical policy recommends to aid economic resilience and adaptation are also discussed.
