The Nominal Effective Exchange Rate (NEER) of the Lebanese pound declined marginally by 0.01% this week, recording 116.99 points on January 30th, 2026, against a basket of 21 influential currencies – including the Euro and British pound.
As a side note, Lebanese Central Bank issued basic circular #1 (basic decision 13790) for the purpose of creating a clear legal and regulatory framework regulating the licensing and operation of electronic payment services providers in Lebanon. One of the requirements set by this circular obliges institutions providing e-money service in addition to local and cross-border money transfer service to install cameras at each of its agents in all branches to capture all operations executed on its behalf. Also, cameras records should be kept for at least 6 months.
