BBI Breaks the 30‑Point Barrier for the First Time Since Feb 2020

The BLOM Bond Index (BBI), which tracks Lebanese government Eurobonds that haven’t matured yet, excluding coupon payments, has surged by 24.8% since the start of 2026, reaching 30.17 points on January 14, 2026. This is due to:

  • Iran’s turmoil, raising hopes for improved stability in Lebanon.
  • The financial regulation and deposit recovery law (the financial gap law) advancing to parliament.
  • Lebanon having the widest spreads among distressed EM sovereigns, making it the most attractive target for vulture funds.
