Lebanon’s economic freedom score is 51.1, making its economy the 154th freest in the 2019 Index. Its overall score has decreased by 2.1 points, with declines in scores for judicial effectiveness, trade freedom, and investment freedom far outweighing a modest improvement in labor freedom. Lebanon is ranked 12th among 14 countries in the Middle East and North Africa region, and its overall score is below the regional and world averages.
