Tripoli, October 21, 2025 (LANA) – The Central Bank of Libya (CBL) announced on Tuesday that the Governor, his Deputy, and members of the Board of Directors are ready to respond to any official invitation issued by the Speaker of the House of Representatives to attend a public session dedicated to presenting performance and achievement reports, responding to what it described as "misinformation," and clarifying the challenges facing the bank's work at this critical stage.

The CBL said in a statement responding to comments made by some representatives during the House of Representatives session held on October 20, which was devoted to discussing the bank's statement issued on October 14. The session included discussions and comments from some representatives regarding the bank's performance and the need to summon the Governor of the CBL, his Deputy, and the Board of Directors to attend the upcoming session to discuss the CBL's policy and the liquidity shortage.

The CBL added that it had not received any official invitation addressed to the Governor, his Deputy, or members of the Board of Directors to attend the session, affirming at the same time its full welcome of the questions and criticisms raised and its commitment to exercising the right to respond with complete transparency and responsibility.

The bank concluded the statement by emphasizing the bank's commitment to transparency and communication with legislative authorities and the public, which contributes to strengthening trust and clarifying facts to the Libyan public.

During its discussion of the Central Bank of Libya's latest statement yesterday, Monday, the House of Representatives unanimously voted to summon Governor Naji Issa and his deputy, Marai Al-Barassi.

A number of representatives during the session criticized the Central Bank's handling of the liquidity shortage and the high exchange rates of foreign currencies against the Libyan dinar.
