What the numbers say
In 2021, Lebanon's manufacturing, value added (constant LCU) fell 6.9% on 2020 (from 2.67 trillion to 2.49 trillion).
Across the 29 yearly changes before that (1992 to 2020), the average change was +2% and a typical year strayed about 8% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.1 standard deviations below that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 19.5% in 2007 and the biggest yearly fall was 21.8% in 2020. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2012 to 2021 the straight-line trend is downward, about 255.5 billion a year. A straight line explains 88% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures
Manufacturing includes industries classified in ISIC (Rev. 3) major division C and is defined as the physical or chemical transformation of materials or components into new products. Value added is the contribution to the economy by a producer or an industry or an institutional sector, which is estimated by the total value of output produced and deducting the total value of intermediate consumption of goods and services used to produce that output. This indicator is expressed in constant prices, meaning the series has been adjusted to account for price changes over time. The reference year for this adjustment varies by country. This series is expressed in local currency units.
