Yesterday, 380 million USD were bought from banks at an exchange rate of 38,000 LBP/USD.

The central bank is trying to sell USD to people, to reduce the black market exchange rate.

This measure has reduced it from 47,000 to 42,000 LBP.

⋯ Despite that, the bulk of the USD is being bought by the rich or large businesses, which explains the 380 million, a number much higher than what Sayrafa recorded in the past months.

About 12 billion USD has been injected into the market, yet failed to stabilise the currency.

⋯ With the further depletion of USD reserves, and the continuous printing of Lebanese pounds to pay government expenses, Sayrafa is not expected to last long in terms of unlimited purchase of USD.

Exchange rates are expected to sharply rise shortly after it's limited again.
