Summary:

This case explores the factors that led to Lebanon's financial crisis, one of the most severe and prolonged economic collapses in recent history. It traces the systemic vulnerabilities in Lebanon's banking sector, the role of the Banque du Liban's monetary policies, and the broader macroeconomic imbalances that contributed to the collapse. Through a detailed analysis of the crisis's evolution-from overexposure to sovereign debt and fixed exchange rate rigidity to institutional paralysis and social deterioration, this case illustrates how governance failure and institutional decay can transform a financial crisis into a national catastrophe. Designed for students of macroeconomics and political economy, the case encourages reflection on trust in financial institutions, the role of central banks, and the conditions under which systemic reform becomes either possible or impossible.
