About LPB · Lebanon Price Board

Updated

LPB (Lebanon Price Board) answers the questions people in Lebanon ask every day: what is the dollar at today, how much is a gram of 21k gold, what did the new fuel table say, and what should this month's generator bill come to. All of it is on one fast page, in Arabic, English and French.

Who we are

LPB is published by PointerForce, the small team behind the Android app ade dollar pro, which Lebanese users have relied on for years to follow the dollar rate. The website is the app's companion: the same prices and the same checks, readable on any device without installing anything.

What LPB covers

  • The dollar in Lebanon: the market (parallel) buy and sell rate, the Banque du Liban official rate, the change since yesterday and a 30-day chart.
  • Gold: 24k, 22k, 21k, 18k and 14k per gram, the gold lira, the ounce and the kilogram, in dollars and lira.
  • Fuel: gasoline 95 and 98, diesel and the gas cylinder, from the Ministry of Energy and Water's latest official table.
  • Generator tariff: the ministry's monthly kWh price and fixed fees, with a bill calculator.
  • Syrian pound: the market rate in new Syrian pounds, the old-pound equivalent, and the lira↔Syrian pound cross rate.
  • Currencies and the converter: other currencies converted through the market dollar.
  • History: a daily archive, so you can check what the rate was on a given date.
  • Guides: plain explanations of how these prices work and how to deal with exchangers, jewellers and generator bills.

How often the data updates

Prices are checked every 30 minutes from 07:00 to 22:00 Beirut time, plus once at 06:00. Fuel follows the ministry's tables, which usually come out on Tuesday and Friday. The generator tariff follows the ministry's monthly decision. Every price shows when it was last confirmed.

Independence

LPB is not affiliated with Banque du Liban, any ministry, exchange house, bank, jeweller or fuel company, and nobody pays us to show a price. The site is free and funded by advertising. Ads never change the numbers. We compare several independent sources and publish a value only when they agree. The full process is on our methodology page.

Indicative, not a quote

The prices here are a reference for what the market is doing. The exchanger, jeweller or station in front of you may quote a slightly different price, and that's normal. LPB doesn't buy or sell currency or gold, and nothing on the site is financial advice.
