-- In the third-such attempt, the Lebanon Central Bank is setting a ceiling for the Lebanese Pound-USD exchange rate, this time at 3200.

^^ the official rate is 1500. What a circus.
-- Zalka - Jal Al Dib road are now blocked by handful of protesters.
Lebanese exchange rates:

- Central bank: 1507-1515

- Black market: 4300

- Official order for exchange: 3200

- Official exchange for depositors with bank accounts less than 3k$: 2600

- Official rate for electronic transfers: 3600
