Lebanese Pound Exchange Rate in Syria
The Lebanese pound is the only currency on this site that went through a collapse comparable to the Syrian pound's, which makes LBP/SYP a ratio between two currencies that have each lost most of their value against the dollar.
The resulting figure is very small and very sensitive: a modest move on either side looks large in percentage terms. Working through the dollar is more reliable in practice than reading the pair directly.
The pair carries historical weight out of proportion to its volume. Lebanon's banking collapse in 2019 closed a channel Syrian businesses and households had relied on to hold and move hard currency, and it was one reason the Syrian pound's decline accelerated that year.
Frequently asked questions about the Lebanese Pound
Why is the Lebanese-to-Syrian pound figure so small?
Because both currencies have lost most of their value against the dollar, so the ratio between them sits near one and moves in small fractions.
Is the Lebanese pound still accepted in Syria?
It is exchanged as a foreign currency rather than spent, and demand for it is limited compared with the dollar — which can mean a wider spread.
Why does this pair sometimes move sharply?
Because both sides are volatile. When one currency moves against the dollar and the other does not, the entire difference lands in this pair.
Are the figures in new Syrian pounds?
Yes. Every rate on the site is in new pounds following the 2026 redenomination. Multiply by 100 for the old-pound equivalent.
