Tripoli, April 9, 2026 (LANA) – The National Committee for Combating Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing held its first meeting of 2026 on Thursday, chaired by the Governor of the Central Bank of Libya, Naji Mohammed Issa, to discuss the implementation of the National Strategy for Combating Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing.

The bank stated on its official page that representatives from relevant governmental, judicial, security, and regulatory bodies participated in the meeting.

The meeting reviewed the measures taken in preparation for the mutual evaluation process to which the country will be subject, as well as the risks arising from the continued absence of a draft law on combating money laundering and terrorist financing. This absence means the lack of a legislative framework that complies with relevant international standards and recommendations, and the potentially serious repercussions this could have on the country's financial and economic systems.

According to the bank, the committee is working to strengthen preventive controls and protect the financial system, in line with the reform policy pursued by the Central Bank of Libya and the National Committee. A number of decisions were made in this regard.
