The March 2025 Lebanon Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment (RDNA) by the World Bank estimates that $11 billion is needed for Lebanon’s reconstruction following the conflict with Israel. The conflict caused $6.8 billion in physical damage and $7.2 billion in economic losses, with housing, commerce, industry, and tourism being the hardest-hit sectors. Lebanon’s GDP contracted by 7.1% in 2024, deepening its ongoing economic crisis. The report calls for a "build back better" approach, emphasizing sustainable reconstruction, policy reforms, and increased private sector investment to support recovery efforts.
