Economic indicators in Lebanon and Palestine
Overview
In late August 2026, economic indicators for Lebanon and Palestine showed rising costs and shifting production trends. In Lebanon, food prices increased by approximately 14.5% year-on-year in July 2026, driven by a heavy reliance on imports and rising regional costs for energy, transport, and shipping.
In Palestine, the Producer Price Index rose by 1.61% in July 2026 compared to June, with agricultural prices specifically increasing by 3.00%. By early September, data indicated that the Palestinian industrial production index also grew by 0.94% during July 2026. This industrial growth was largely supported by a 9.19% increase in electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply activities, despite declines in pharmaceutical, tobacco, chemical, and food product manufacturing.
