The UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) report, Libya Market Price Monitoring – February 2026, published last Monday 30 March, says food prices increased in Libya following the devaluation of the Libyan dinar last January. The increase reflects emerging exchange-rate pass-through following the Central Bank of Libya’s 14.7 percent devaluation announced on 18 January, alongside continued import dependence and liquidity constraints, it added. In the East, increases reflect a catch-up effect following relatively lower price levels in previous months, alongside exchange-rate pass-through. In the South, higher transport costs, supply constraints, reliance on long supply chains, and exchange-rate pass-through continue to drive sharper price adjustments. While these measures may provide short-term relief, their impact on overall market prices remains uncertain, the report concluded.
