Benghazi, March 26, 2026 (LANA) – Economist Mohamed Abu Snina warned that inflation in Libya has reached a dangerous level, threatening social unrest and the livelihoods of Libyan families.
Al-Wasat news portal quoted Abu Snina as saying that inflation is the greatest threat facing the Libyan dinar, given the continuous rise in the prices of basic commodities. This has led to the disappearance of the middle class and an increase in poverty rates.
The economist called for urgent action and directed all efforts and policies toward curbing inflation, stressing the need for effective integration between fiscal, monetary, and trade policies.
He indicated that addressing the issue requires a comprehensive review of state institutions' policies, including controlling the exchange rate, managing the money supply, rationalizing public spending, regulating markets, securing sources of imported goods, improving the efficiency of supply chains, and strengthening anti-monopoly measures.
