Stock Brokers in Lebanon, 2026
Tracked byIndependent review teamUpdated
Lebanon has been in severe banking and currency crisis since 2019 — the Lebanese pound (LBP) has lost over 95% of its value against the USD, and capital controls have effectively trapped USD-denominated bank deposits. The Banque du Liban (BdL) supervises banking and currency, while the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) covers the small Beirut Stock Exchange. There is no functional retail forex/CFD framework. Most retail FX activity routes through offshore brokers using cash-based USD funding, OMT/Western Union remittance corridors and stablecoins.

Personal income tax is progressive up to 25%. Capital gains regulations exist on paper but enforcement on retail trading is minimal in current conditions. Foreign brokers do not withhold; income is technically reportable but the tax-administration infrastructure is severely impaired.
There are no functional statutory leverage caps; offshore brokers serving Lebanese residents apply their own limits. International brokers vary on Lebanon onboarding — some require enhanced due diligence due to AML and sanctions screening considerations. Cash USD and stablecoin rails dominate retail FX funding given the banking-sector freeze.
