Overview
The Economic domain covers Lebanon's core macroeconomic indicators from 2010 to present. Data is compiled from official government publications, BDL statistical bulletins, World Bank country reports, and proprietary field research. Every series is cross-validated across at least two independent sources before delivery.
What's Included
Methodology
Primary data is sourced from the Central Administration of Statistics (CAS), the Ministry of Finance, and BDL quarterly bulletins. Where official data has gaps — common in Lebanon post-2019 — Berix applies a documented interpolation methodology using regional proxies and IMF Article IV consultation data. All assumptions are disclosed in the accompanying methodology note.
