Economist notes points in Central Bank of Libya report

Economic analyst Mukhtar Al-Jadid stated that the Central Bank of Libya’s report issued yesterday contains notable points requiring attention and analysis, though he postponed detailed discussion until after the Eid al-Adha holiday.

In a Facebook post, Al-Jadid observed the inclusion of fuel expenditure figures for the first time in four years, noting this indicates the conclusion of the barter system previously in use.

Al-Jadid linked the appearance of the fuel bill data to activities by advocates and individuals focused on public affairs through media and social media channels. He acknowledged their role in highlighting the matter.

The analyst recognised those who participated in discussions about financial transparency and called for continued attention to such matters.

The Central Bank of Libya operates within Libya’s current political framework, with various institutions providing oversight of its functions.
