The Lebanon Pulse Survey (LPS) is a biannual survey initiative designed to monitor economic conditions and household perceptions in Lebanon. The survey is conducted twice each year: a comprehensive survey in January, followed by a mid-year follow-up survey administered to a subset of the January sample. A new nationally drawn sample is selected each year to ensure continuous and updated measurements of economic and social conditions.
The survey focuses on capturing the country's economic pulse. It measures households' assessment of economic conditions over the previous twelve months, their expectations for the next six months, and key indicators related to employment, financial wellbeing, and various intentions. By combining retrospective assessments with forward-looking expectations, the survey provides a structured framework for understanding both realized and anticipated economic trends.
The primary output of the LPS is the annual Lebanon Economic Report. The report provides an integrated analysis of survey findings and highlights emerging trends in economic sentiment, household living conditions and vulnerabilities.
