The state of Lebanon’s economy is growing worse day by day. This issue has garnered international attention after the continued protests, which started in October 2019. The Beirut blast in August once again put Lebanon’s problem on everyone’s radar. However, the economy did not deteriorate overnight. Lebanon’s current situation is a culmination of all the bad policies which the government pursued and the inherent corruption and incompetence; the subsequent government bodies possessed since its independence from France. Another major factor was the involvement of Lebanon in many wars, both external and civil. Lebanon was a playground of regional powers that were involved in proxy wars, which evidently left a lasting scar on the economy.
