Who bears the cost of Lebanon's $11B debt
The article addresses the issue of Lebanon's reconstruction after the conflict that began in October 2023 and worsened again in 2026. The World Bank estimated that the costs of recovery and rebuilding amount to approximately $11 billion. Faced with a financial crisis and unsustainable debts, funding this amount becomes complex. Lebanon is expected to need to combine public and private financing, relying heavily on external funding and private investments. The article also emphasizes that reconstruction is not just about restoring infrastructure but presents an opportunity to redesign a more resilient economic model. This requires political and administrative reforms to build trust and attract funding, along with transparent management of funds to ensure sustainable development—turning the billions into long-term investments rather than merely rebuilding the past.
