Some airlines benefit from a weaker US dollar: IATA
Airlines marginally benefited in the first half of 2025 as the US dollar depreciated by 7% against its trading partners' currencies, according to an IATA report. Jet fuel is airlines' largest cost component (closely matched by labor costs), and it is usually traded in US dollars. The price of jet fuel has also fallen in 2025, by approximately 6% over the first six months, allowing for a combined savings of roughly 12% on the fuel bill for non-USD-based carriers, equating to a reduction in total costs of around 3%, the report said. Other dollar-linked costs, such as maintenance and repairs, payments for aircraft, and interest on dollar-priced loans, also became cheaper for non-dollar-based carriers. In 2024, maintenance represented around 8% of operating costs, while aircraft ownership, including leasing and depreciation, accounted for about 11%. The overall impact on operating expenses of the lower fuel price and the weaker USD as it pertains to these dollar-denominated cost components is approximately 4.5% during the first half of 2025, on average, for non-dollar-based carriers. The Chinese yuan and the Indian rupee remained virtually unchanged against the dollar, excluding them from the benefits of the general dollar decline. The Turkish lira and the Argentine peso are at the losing end of the spectrum, having depreciated by 11% and 14% against the dollar, respectively. All the bills' carriers in those countries that pay in US dollars will increase accordingly, in local currency terms.

UN calls for urgent, coordinated action to launch recovery efforts in Lebanon
New York: The United Nations on Thursday called for urgent and coordinated action to launch recovery efforts in Lebanon, warning that the country's protracted crisis is worsening under the combined impact of war and other compounding shocks. In a joint report released today titled "The Socio-Economic Impact of the 2024 War on Lebanon," the UN Development Programme (UNDP) and the Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA), in collaboration with UNICEF, the International Labour Organisation (ILO), and UN-Habitat, revealed that the conflict in Lebanon displaced more than 1.2 million people, damaged or destroyed nearly 64,000 buildings, and interrupted education for hundreds of thousands of students. The report highlighted that micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises - which make up 90 percent of Lebanon's economy - were among the hardest hit. About 15 percent of these businesses permanently closed, 75 percent suspended operations during the conflict, and nearly 30 percent lost their entire workforce. In areas most heavily targeted by Israeli airstrikes, 70 percent of businesses were forced into full closure, the report said, noting that the economic toll has been severe, with Lebanon's economy contracting by 38 percent between 2019 and 2024. The report suggests that comprehensive recovery anchored in structural reforms could reverse the decline, projecting economic growth of 8.2 percent in 2026 and 7.1 percent in 2027. However, even with such reforms, the country's GDP would remain 8.4 percent below its 2017 peak of USD 51.2 billion.
