Expansions in output and new orders accelerate in November 2025
The BLOM Lebanon PMI rose to 51.3 in November 2025 from 50.6 in October 2025, its fourth straight month in expansion. Growth was driven by record-high new orders, matching September’s peak, which supported output and reflected higher spending ahead of the Pope’s December visit and the stronger access to foreign markets. After eight consecutive months of contraction, export orders returned to the expansion zone, reaching the same two‑year peak last recorded in February. Stronger local and foreign demand also sustained employment in the expansion zone, although slightly below October’s level. The pace of job creation eased to only a fractional rate overall, yet notably, this was the first time since late 2023 that private sector payrolls in Lebanon have grown in back-to-back months.
