GDP grew 2.% last year, which marked a deterioration from the 3.% growth observed in the previous year. According to a recent report from the Central Bank, despite the challenging environment, the country s banking sector remained strong and liquid last year, thus retaining significant capacity to finance the government s needs. In more recent news, the closure of the last open border between Syria and Jordan is expected to weigh heavily on Lebanese exports as it will deny land access to its main trading countries. As a result, the Lebanese factories will shift to shipping their products in order to reach trading partners, particularly the Gulf Cooperation Council countries. Looking forward, the drop in oil prices is expected to support domestic consumption and provide some relief to s current account and fiscal deficits. FocusEconomics Consensus Forecast panelists see the economy growing 2.2% in 215, which is up.1 percentage points from last month s estimate. For 216, the panel expects growth of 2.8%. Consumer prices dropped 3.% year-on-year in February (January: -3.8% year-on-year), thus marking the third consecutive month of falling annual consumer prices.
