ما هي أضعف عملة في العالم حالياً؟

The data points to the severe economic pressures facing the Lebanese Pound (LBP), which trades at approximately 89,500 to 89,600 LBP per US Dollar.

While the Iranian Rial holds the lowest nominal value globally (surpassing 1 million per dollar on the open market), the Lebanese Pound remains one of the world's most severely impacted currencies in terms of a rapid collapse in purchasing power and living standards.

Key Factors Behind the Collapse

• Banking and Financial Crisis: A combination of decades of high public debt, political deadlock, and a severe banking sector collapse starting around 2019 decimated confidence in the local currency.

• Heavy Import Dependence: Lebanon relies heavily on imports for basic commodities, fuel, and food. The continuous high demand for scarce U.S. dollars to pay for these imports puts persistent downward pressure on the LBP.

• Hyperinflation and Money Supply: Excessive monetary expansion alongside a lack of foreign currency reserves severely eroded the value of local savings and wages.
