Lebanese Pound (LBP) to USD — Lebanon Parallel Market Rate
By the ETCurrency rates deskUpdated hourly from P2P & exchange-market dataHow we calculate rates
As of June 6, 2026, one US dollar costs about 84,950 LBP on the Lebanon parallel market, so the Lebanese Pound is worth roughly $0.00001 each. In practical terms, 1,000 LBP ≈ $0.01177 and 100,000 LBP ≈ $1.18 at the street rate, versus the official Banque du Liban (BdL) rate of about 89,500 LBP per dollar.
Since 2019 Lebanon has effectively had several exchange rates at once, and the parallel-market dollar is the one that governs daily prices.
How much is the Lebanese Pound worth in US dollars today?
Because the parallel market prices the dollar at about 84,950 LBP, you divide any Lebanese Pound amount by that figure to get its dollar value. For example, 10,000 LBP ≈ $0.11772, 50,000 LBP ≈ $0.58858, and 1,000,000 LBP ≈ $11.77. At the official rate the same Lebanese Pound would convert to slightly more dollars on paper — but only if you can actually access dollars at that rate.
This is why the parallel rate matters for anyone holding Lebanese Pound: it shows the real, market-clearing dollar value rather than an official rate that may be hard to obtain.
Why the LBP to USD street rate differs from the bank
When you convert Lebanese Pound to dollars at a bank, you get the official Banque du Liban (BdL) rate — if dollars are available. On the parallel market the dollar is dearer, driven by factors such as the 2019 financial collapse, multiple parallel exchange rates, loss of confidence in banks, so each Lebanese Pound fetches fewer dollars there.
Today that difference is a modest premium of roughly -2.2%. The larger this gap, the more the official rate overstates what your Lebanese Pound is really worth in dollars.
