Banque du Liban has stated that its sole objective, along with that of its governor, is to achieve a set of established priorities: maintaining monetary stability under all circumstances; working toward the return of depositors' funds in accordance with financial regularization laws to restore the health of the banking sector as a key condition for economic growth; and strengthening public finances, including stabilizing the national currency to enable the country to meet all its obligations to citizens and public sector employees.

The bank affirmed in a statement that it is “bound and committed to a single agenda: preserving monetary stability. It has been consistently working with various relevant ministries, particularly the Ministry of Finance, as well as all active stakeholders in the financial sector, to ensure a steady inflow of foreign currency into the country and to maintain the stability of the national exchange rate.

This is carried out within established frameworks and regulations that uphold the disciplined policy adopted by the bank to safeguard funds allocated to depositors and those belonging to the state, while maintaining a sound balance between the two.”

It added: “The bank operates exclusively within the legal framework, in coordination with the government and in cooperation with the Ministry of Finance to ensure the regularity of fiscal and monetary policies. At this critical stage, it is keen to affirm its full commitment to the letter of the relevant regulations and to its duties as explicitly stated in Article 70 of the Code of Money and Credit, foremost among them maintaining the stability of the Lebanese pound.”

It also stressed that “the political stability pursued by the government is the foundation for any economic stability, and progress on this path is the decisive factor in restoring confidence, enhancing the effectiveness of monetary policies, stabilizing the national economy, and driving the recovery of both the public and private sectors."
