Current rate
1 USD = 4.88 LYD as of 2026-05-18. USD to LYD volume is driven almost entirely by Libya's oil sector — Eni, BP, and Waha Oil contractor payments, NOC export receipts denominated in USD, and a smaller Libyan-American diaspora. The CBL devalued the dinar in 2021 unifying east-west rates and the currency has been relatively stable since.

❓ FAQ
USD to LYD FAQ.
Who converts USD to LYD?
International oil services companies in Sirte Basin, UN-affiliated organizations in Tripoli and Benghazi, Libyan students abroad receiving CBL-funded scholarships, and traders importing consumer goods from Tunisia and Egypt.
Best way to send USD to LYD?
Bank wires through Jumhouria Bank or Sahara Bank are standard but slow. Western Union has limited coverage. Most expat workers receive USD directly and convert locally at bureaux de change, where rates closely track the CBL official rate post-2021.
Did the 2021 devaluation unify the rate?
Yes — CBL set a unified rate of 4.48 LYD per USD in January 2021, ending the east-west split between Tripoli and Benghazi CBL branches that had created two effective currencies during the 2014-2020 conflict.
