The Deputy Governor of the Central Bank, Ali Al-Hibri, said on Saturday that “half of the state’s reserves have been lost due to the political class’s lack of interest in the economic future of the country”.

This came during his participation in the activities of the Libyan Economic Diversification Conference, during which he stressed the need to start reforming the banking sector and reactivate the stock market, noting that there will be no reforms without a conscious political will free of corruption.
