USD to LBP Exchange Rate History — Lebanon
Over the past 90 days, the USD to Lebanese Pound parallel (black market) rate moved from about 89,500 LBP on Jun 5, 2026 to 84,950 LBP on Jun 6, 2026 — a change of -5.1%. Across that window the Lebanese Pound strengthened against the dollar, trading between a low of 82,175 and a high of 89,500 LBP, averaging 84,824 LBP per US 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 to read the LBP rate history
The chart plots the parallel buy rate — how many LBP it took to buy one US dollar — at each point we recorded. The daily table below lists the closing buy and sell rate for each day, while the monthly table summarises the average, high and low for each month, which is useful for comparing one period with another.
A rising line means the Lebanese Pound is losing value (more LBP per dollar); a falling line means it is gaining. Over this window the spread between the high (89,500) and the low (82,175) shows how volatile the market has been — here, roughly 1.0% around the average.
What has moved the Lebanese Pound recently?
In Lebanon, the parallel rate is driven by factors such as the 2019 financial collapse, multiple parallel exchange rates, loss of confidence in banks. When dollars become scarcer or confidence falls, the street rate climbs ahead of the official Banque du Liban (BdL) rate; when supply improves or policy tightens, the gap can narrow again.
Because the parallel rate often moves before official devaluations, its history is a useful early-warning record — a steadily rising trend frequently precedes an official adjustment, while a long plateau suggests relative stability.
Using historical LBP rates
Historical rates help with budgeting, invoicing, remittance planning and spotting trends, but they are not a forecast — past movements do not guarantee future ones. For the live rate, see our main USD to LBP page, and use the converter for exact amounts.
