BDL’s latest statistics on money supply revealed that Broad Money (M3) decreased by LBP 5,376.39billion to stand at LBP 6,088,012 billion ($68.02billion) by the week ending September 25th, 2025. Furthermore, M3 decreased by 2.85% year-over-year, and by 1.057% year to date (YTD).
In details, M1 contracted by LBP 2,431.53 billion during the week of 18 September to 25 September 2025, due to a decrease in demand deposits of LBP 1,989.54 billion and in currency in circulation of LBP 441.99 billion.
In turn, total deposits (excluding demand deposits) fell by LBP 2,944.86 billion ($32.9 million), driven by a $46.93 million decrease in deposits denominated in foreign currencies compared to the previous week—despite a LBP 1,255.06 billion increase in term and savings deposits in LBP during the week.
As such, the rate of broad money dollarization increased from 97.616% in the week ending September 18th, 2025 to 97.634% in the week ending September 25th, 2025.
