Tripoli, May 6, 2026 (LANA) – The Central Bank of Libya announced the commencement of cash distribution to commercial bank branches across the country, as part of its efforts to meet citizens' needs and enhance financial stability.
In a statement, the bank explained that this step coincides with the imminent disbursement of public sector salaries via traditional payment methods, which will lead to increased demand for cash.
