BEIRUT, May 15 (Reuters) - Lebanon's central bank governor said on Monday the country's foreign currency reserves are stable and do not require immediate boosting via intervention by the bank.

"Today we have a situation that is stable which doesn't warrant any special operations," Riad Salameh told Reuters on the sidelines of a Euromoney conference in Beirut.

"Depending on what would be necessary, we have various strategies we can implement, it is not essential that we go back to the same strategy we used in 2016."

The operations carried out between June and August last year brought dollar liquidity into the central bank from private banks and also boosted local banks' reserves of the Lebanese pound, which is pegged to the dollar.
