Banque du Liban issued Interim Decision No. 13824 to amend Basic Decision No. 13335, modifying the exceptional measures for the gradual repayment of foreign currency deposits. The amendment permits account holders to request the re-opening of transfer accounts with a maximum limit of USD 54,200, allows joint account holders to allocate benefits according to mutual agreement, and grants banks the right to utilize up to 3% of their foreign liquidity to meet repayment obligations, provided this ratio is replenished by December 31, 2027. This revised framework remains effective for one year from July 1, 2026, or until all transferable funds are released to the Special Sub-Account.
