Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeibah has held talks with Libya's Central Bank (CBL) Governor Naje Issa on what officials described as a set of “priority” economic and financial issues. The two sides also reviewed measures aimed at tightening regulation of the foreign exchange market. Discussions included the issuance of letters of credit for the import of essential goods, with both officials stressing the need to maintain supplies in the local market and prevent price volatility. They agreed on the importance of adhering to a previously signed financial arrangement to prevent further weakening of the Libyan dinar and to protect citizens’ purchasing power. Dbeibah emphasised continued coordination between the government and the Central Bank to support economic stability and the steady provision of essential goods.
