The step will come into effect from the end of the October, Khalil said. Lebanese authorities introduced the 1,507 rate in 1997. But the pound has slumped by more than 95% from the official rate since Lebanon fell into financial crisis three years ago, currently changing hands at around 38,000 on a parallel market.Main category: Middle-East
