Central Bank Governor confirms implementation of Circular 161 ongoing

NNA - Lebanese Central Bank Governor, Riad Salameh, on Thursday reaffirmed in a statement the ongoing implementation of Circular 161, through which clients can withdraw USD cash amounts from their LBP accounts at Sayrafa rate. 

However, Salameh made it clear that the volume of daily trading operations via Sayrafa platform did not reflect the size of the Central Bank’s operations in the US dollar market, nor the size of its intervention. 

“Sayrafa platform does not solely include operations performed by the Central Bank, but rather records all the US dollar purchase and sale operations which take place in the market between those registered on this platform through banks and money changers, even without the Central Bank’s intervention,” Salameh’s statement explained.
