Overview
The Banking domain covers Lebanon's commercial banking sector and central bank statistics. It includes deposit volume trends, lending activity, non-performing loan ratios, bank health scores, and BDL monetary statistics. Given the opacity of Lebanon's banking sector post-2019, Berix applies a rigorous multi-source verification process to ensure data reliability.
What's Included
Methodology
Data is sourced from BDL monthly statistical bulletins, Association of Banks in Lebanon (ABL) quarterly reports, and IMF Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) publications. Where BDL data has been delayed or incomplete, Berix uses ABL member bank filings as a cross-reference. All NPL estimates include a confidence interval reflecting data quality.
