The Syrian Refugee Crisis and Lebanon's Economic Landscape The Impact of Forced Migration on GDP, Unemployment, Inflation and Trade

“Mohamad Zreik’s book ... explores the economic consequences of the Syrian refugee crisis as it relates to Lebanon. Original and in-depth, it examines in detail how the mass influx of Syrian refugees shaped the economic parameters of Lebanon— in spheres such as gdp, unemployment, inflation, trade and the strain on public services. The data range is from 2011 to 2023, thus making this a very valuable resource for policymakers, academics, and humanitarian practitioners alike.” (Ananda Kumar Biswas, Farah Naj Jahan and Md. Ariful Hasan, Contemporary Arab Affairs, Vol. 18 (1), March, 2025)
