The International Monetary Fund (IMF) foresees growth in real Lebanese GDP by 2% in 2017, thus keeping its growth forecast announced in October 2016, before the formation of Saad Hariri’s government on 18 November.

In addition, the IMF predicts a return of inflation in 2017 to 2.6% against the 2% estimated in October, while the consumer price index would record a -0.8% in 2016 against the previous forecast of -0.7%.
