The 2026 gold market: Gold's role in a multi-polar reserve system
2026 finds gold continuing as a structural reserve asset. Central banks remain net buyers. Gold's share of total global reserves has crossed 18 percent — the highest since the 1990s. The post-2022 monetary order, with gold playing a larger role alongside multiple reserve currencies, appears to be consolidating rather than reversing.
Key drivers in 2026
Multi-polar reserve system, central-bank accumulation continuing, AI-era productivity vs monetary expansion debate
The Lebanon gold market
Lebanon retail gold prices are quoted in the local currency per gram for 24K and 22K purities, and per troy ounce for investment-grade bullion.

How Lebanon gold prices are calculated on this page
Source. The international XAU/USD spot price comes from gold-api.com's historical archive (London PM-fix benchmark). The LBP/USD exchange rate comes from exchangerate-api.com's 2026 year-end snapshot.
Conversion. Every LBP figure on this page is computed as XAU/USD price × LBP/USD rate. We use the year-end exchange rate consistently across all January 2026 prices on this page.
Per-unit math. Per-gram = per-ounce ÷ 31.1035. Per-tola = per-gram × 11.664. Per-10g = per-gram × 10. Per-kilo = per-gram × 1000. Karat values multiply per-gram by the purity ratio (24K = 0.999, 22K = 0.916, 21K = 0.875, 18K = 0.750, 14K = 0.585, 10K = 0.417).
What this page does NOT include. Local sales tax / VAT, customs duty on imports, dealer making charges, jewellery design premiums, or coin numismatic premiums. To go from this pure-metal value to a final retail rate in Lebanon, add the country-specific levies described in the “Lebanongold market” section above.

How was the local currency price calculated?
LBP prices on this page are computed from the verified international XAU/USD spot price for January 2026 (sourced from gold-api.com), multiplied by the 2026-end LBP/USD exchange rate from exchangerate-api.com. We use year-end rates as a single reference point for the entire month — for most stable currencies the within-year FX drift is small, but during currency crises (PKR 2022–23, TRY 2022, ARS 2024 etc.) the actual mid-month rate may differ.
Why does the retail price in shops differ from this number?
The ل.ل figures here represent the international gold spot price converted to LBP at the 2026-end exchange rate. Lebanon's retail jewellers add (1) import duties and sales tax (varies by SKU and karat), (2) dealer making charges (typically 3–12% of metal value), and (3) a small premium for purity certification on bars. Always verify the exact day's retail rate with a reputable local dealer before transacting.
