Poll shows Libyans oppose Central Bank’s currency exchange rate adjustment

A survey conducted by the Libyan Centre for Studies and Policy Design indicates that most citizens oppose the Central Bank of Libya’s recent decision to adjust the exchange rate of the Libyan dinar.

The telephone poll of 1,200 participants from various Libyan regions showed that the majority of respondents rejected the exchange rate adjustment. Most participants also opposed alternative economic measures such as reducing salaries, lifting fuel subsidies, or halting development projects.

According to the research centre, the survey aimed to measure public reaction to the Central Bank’s decision and gauge acceptance of alternative policies. The centre noted the importance of public support in policy evaluation.

The survey included participants across different age groups (over 18), geographic regions, genders, and educational backgrounds. Researchers report a 99% reliability score with a 3.72% margin of error.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
