Lebanon

Lebanon’s infrastructure has been severely affected by economic and political crises, with major gaps in electricity, water supply, and transport networks. Reconstruction and modernisation projects, often supported by international donors, aim to restore essential services and stimulate economic activity. Public investment capacity is constrained by fiscal deficits and debt, while private financing is limited by political and economic instability. Institutional reform, improved governance, and financial sector stabilisation are critical to achieving sustainable infrastructure recovery.
