Lebanon currently enduring an unprecedented economic crisis, pushing large numbers of people into poverty and triggering the largest anti-government protests in over a decade. As this infographic shows, IMF estimates put the country’s national debt at 162 percent of GDP in 2020 – the fourth highest in the world.
As Lebanon’s financial crisis worsens, the Lebanese became increasingly dependent on the financial support from family members abroad. In the last year, remittance inflows constituted a lifeline for many struggling families and communities. In turn, the country became the second top remittance recipient in the world in terms of percentage of GDP. According to the World Bank, in 2022, the remittance inflows in Lebanon are estimated at 38% of the country’s GDP, a significant jump from 25.6% and 14.4% respectively in the years 2020 and 2019.

Some studies have found evidence favouring foreign aid’s positive impact in more significant growth in human capital, rapid accumulation of capital, and improved welfare for the recipient economies. The proponents believe in the positive effect of foreign aid as it helps the poor economies achieve higher economic growth levels by eliminating the difference between investments and saving. Foreign aid becomes vital for developing economies through better utilization of domestic resources and bridging the gap between savings and foreign exchange created due to lack of foreign currency. Usually, foreign aid is aimed to enhance economic welfare and support economic growth; however, foreign aid’s effectiveness on economic growth has been a substantial debate.
