Lebanon is a parliamentary republic of about 5.5 million people governed by confessional power-sharing — a Maronite president, Sunni prime minister and Shia speaker — with GDP collapsed to roughly 24 billion USD from about 55 billion USD in 2018 amid the post-2019 financial crisis. After a 26-month presidential vacancy, parliament elected army commander Joseph Aoun president on 9 January 2025; he named ICJ head Nawaf Salam prime minister, with the cabinet formed on 8 February 2025. Civil time runs Asia/Beirut on EET/EEST (UTC+2/+3) with DST observed; in March 2023 the caretaker government's last-minute decision to delay the DST start triggered a week-long split in which schools, churches and Hezbollah-aligned areas ran on different clocks. The Beirut Stock Exchange has been largely dormant since 2019, while remittances, IMF program talks and post-October 2024 Hezbollah–Israel ceasefire reconstruction shape the outlook.
