Further to recent meetings and demonstrations by small importers in Misrata and Tripoli, and their meeting with Naji Issa, the Governor of the Central Bank of Libya (CBL), and a meeting at the Cabinet Office under the chairmanship of the Financial Advisor to the Prime Minister, Mohammed Al-Shahoubi, the Tripoli based Libyan government relented yesterday to these demands by suspending Economy Ministry decision 4/2025 that had stipulated that imports were only allowed into the country if they had been paid for by official local banking transactions. The government concession came in the form of the circulation to Chambers of Commerce and ports of a Customs Authority notification stating that ‘‘Based on the decision to suspend the implementation of Resolution No. (42) of 2025 regarding the prohibition of engaging in import and export activities except through banking operations approved by the Central Bank, it has been decided to extend the period of permission for the entry of goods and merchandise, and to grant permission for their release from all customs ports, in accordance with the controls and procedures previously in place, and in a manner that does not conflict with the applicable laws and legislation, until further notice’’.
