Regulatory Alerts2026-06-04 | 13825Exceptional Measures for the Repayment of Deposits Constituted before June 30, 2023 in Foreign Currencies
Banque du Liban issued Central Bank Decision No. 13825 to amend its February 2024 exceptional deposit repayment framework by adjusting eligibility thresholds and account transfer rules. The amendment mandates that individuals who purchased over $100,000 USD via the Sayrafa platform must settle the Additional Exceptional Tax under Law No. 324 to qualify for benefits, while capping transfers to the "Derived Special Account" at $15,200 USD per account holder regardless of multiple or joint account holdings. This revised framework takes effect on July 1, 2026, remains valid for one renewable year, and continues until all eligible funds are successfully transferred to the designated account.
