The ripple effects of the war in Gaza are likely to knock Lebanon’s fragile economy, which had begun making a tepid recovery after years of crisis, back into recession, the World Bank said in a report released on Thursday. Before the outbreak of the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, the World Bank had projected that Lebanon’s economy would grow in 2023, by a meager 0.2 per cent, for the first time since 2018, driven largely by remittances sent from Lebanese working abroad and by an uptick in tourism.
