关于 Lebanese Pound
The Lebanese Pound was introduced in 1939. For decades, it was a symbol of stability, but since 2019, it has been in a state of collapse, suffering from hyperinflation and a massive loss of value.
The name 'Pound' or 'Lira' (ليرة) is derived from the Roman unit of weight, the 'libra'.

The 'Lollar'
During the financial crisis, a new term, 'Lollar', was coined to describe U.S. dollars trapped in the Lebanese banking system, which could only be withdrawn in LBP at a significant loss.
A State of Collapse
Since 2019, the Lebanese Pound has lost over 98% of its value, leading to hyperinflation, the collapse of the banking system, and widespread social unrest.
Multiple Exchange Rates
A key feature of the crisis is the existence of multiple exchange rates: the official rate, the central bank's 'Sayrafa' rate, and various black market rates, creating confusion and arbitrage.
