Sfârșitul unui război. Începutul reconstrucției economice
The End of a War. The Beginning of Economic Reconstruction

Summary/Abstract: The main aim of this article is to give some idea about the impact of the recent war between Israel and Hezbollah on Lebanese economic life. Its intention is to provide some details about the past, present and more importantly, the future situation of Lebanese economy and more. The war that Israel waged in Southern Lebanon has caused immeasurable destruction on the lives, livelihoods and infrastructure of the people of Lebanon. The hostilities have claimed over 1.100 civilian lives, left more than 4.000 people wounded, and displaced more than a quarter of the Lebanese population. Also, the Israeli offensive in July 2006 has led to severe repercussions on the Lebanese economy as a whole, too. Notwithstanding their immediate impact, these consequences will most likely continue to be felt in the years ahead. In fact, while the full picture of the physical damage assessment will shortly be clearer and quantified, the impact of the offensive on the economic, financial and public finance indicators will span over the short and medium term.
