The devastating civil war in Syria is arguably one of the major civil conflicts in recent times. The economic effects of the war extend beyond the country’s borders affecting also the neighbouring countries. In particular, international trade traffic is one of the main channels through which the effects of the crisis are transmitted to neighbouring countries. This paper examines the effects of the Syrian war on the Lebanese economy via one of the most important channels through which the economic impact of the war occurs, i.e. the trade channel. This paper surprisingly points out that the Syrian war has so far had a mixed impact on Lebanese trade.
