An anonymous ‘‘Central Bank of Libya (CBL) official’’ briefed local Arabic-language media yesterday that the CBL had signed a new contract the previous day with a printing company worth 30 billion dinars of the “20 dinars” denomination. This comes in addition to the previous contracts worth 60 billion dinars that are being supplied. The report said the next quantity is expected to be 70 billion dinars this year, with the possibility of adding a new “50 dinar” denomination. He claimed black-market traders fear a decline in the black-market FX price, caused by the CBL threat to offer $2.5 billion in facilities this week and prepared to inject $1 billion in cash. Over the last two weeks it has worked as the dollar fell from LD 10.50 to LD 9.35 today.
