3. What is the value of a Lebanese pound in terms of US$, Can$, UK lb, etc.?

It is in a steady state since several months, and it's gaining slowly
(on a periode of a year, 03/95--03/96, it gained 3.6% against the
US dollar)
Typically, a good way to keep a view of the 'latest' figures is to:

- Consult the following http address, it gives the rates between
55 currencies of the world:

- Annahar news paper in Arabic (the economy part)
(http://www.annahar.com.lb/ needs subscription)

- Look at the Wall Street Journal

- Look at Al-Hayat News paper (see address in Question 13)

From Annahar of Saturday May 18th 1996 (Year 63, issue number 19442):
