Lebanon's service-oriented economy, with a GDP of $21.7 billion, faces severe contraction due to ongoing crises. Banking, tourism, and food processing are key, with exports like jewelry and imports of petroleum. Hyperinflation, poverty, and corruption pose significant challenges. Recent efforts include IMF negotiations and financial secrecy reforms, alongside emerging AI investments. Lebanon aims to stabilize its economy through international support and structural reforms, seeking to rebuild its once-vibrant financial and tourism sectors despite political and economic turmoil.
