The July 2006 War dealt a severe blow to Lebanon's fragile economy, just as it was recovering from a year-long slump. The war delayed plans for reform and caused major losses to the economy. It affected every aspect of the country's economy and the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of citizens. The war resulted in a severe shock to Lebanon's monetary and fiscal situation, and it brought about a loss of investor confidence.
