Bank of Lebanon

Banque Du Liban is the central bank of Lebanon and has long been central to the country’s economic policy and financial regulation. Tasked with issuing and regulating the Lebanese pound, managing foreign exchange reserves, and setting monetary policy, the bank plays a critical role in controlling inflation and stabilizing the nation’s financial markets. Amid a backdrop of economic challenges and market volatility, Banque Du Liban has repeatedly been called upon to implement measures intended to restore stability and confidence. Over the years, the bank has pursued modernization initiatives that include upgrading its payment systems and implementing robust cybersecurity protocols to protect sensitive financial data. Despite facing significant pressure from both domestic and international forces, it regularly publishes economic reports and policy analyses to promote transparency and build trust among stakeholders. The bank also collaborates with international financial bodies to adopt global best practices while addressing Lebanon’s unique economic circumstances. In addition to its conventional roles, Banque Du Liban has placed an increasing emphasis on promoting financial inclusion and supporting small- and medium-sized enterprises as part of broader economic reform efforts. These endeavors are aimed at enhancing the country’s long-term economic resilience and paving the way for sustainable recovery. By balancing strict regulatory oversight with progressive reforms, Banque Du Liban strives to safeguard the integrity of Lebanon’s financial system, even in the face of profound structural challenges and evolving economic realities.
