If you look, it's in Lebanese pounds, so is this the price? To solve the exchange rate confusion, the government needs to implement one unified rate. Shop owner Mahmoud Chaar told Reuters the exchange rate was changing so fast that his business was losing money overnight. Like many business owners, Chaar has to pay in U.S. dollars to import goods but sells in Lebanese pounds. "Basically, we lost in the exchange rate difference what we had made in profit," Chaar told Reuters.
