Lebanon's central bank said on Thursday it agreed to a request from Jammal Trust Bank, which was hit by U.S. sanctions last month, to liquidate itself.

The value of the bank's assets, and its share of the national deposit guarantee body, are in principle enough to pay all deposits and commitments, the central bank statement said.
