The Presidential Council issued a decision to appoint Mohamed Abdel Salam Al-Shokri as Governor of the Central Bank of Libya, according to a decision obtained by Libya Al-Ahrar from the Presidential Council.
In a decision obtained by Al-Ahrar, the Presidential Council reconstituted the Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Libya, until an agreement is reached on a Board of Directors in accordance with the roadmap for a comprehensive solution, according to the decision.
The decision was made to appoint (Marai Al-Barasi and Abdul Fattah Al-Ghaffar) as deputies for Al-Shukri, and to appoint each of (Undersecretary of the Ministry of Finance, Fathi Al-Majbari, Abu Bakr Al-Jaffal, Fakher Bouferna, Wissam Al-Kilani, and Hussein Al-Sheikh) as members of the Board of Directors.
Yesterday, the Presidential Council unanimously announced its decision to change the governor of the Central Bank of Libya and form a new board of directors.
The council said in its statement issued on Sunday that the decision came within the framework of assuming national responsibility to preserve the country’s resources and prevent them from being exposed to any harm.
The Presidential Council reassured that this step aims to ensure the stability of the financial and economic situation in the country and within the framework of enhancing governance and institutional stability in Libya, stressing its commitment to cooperation with all international partners.
The Presidency also stressed that these changes aim to enhance the Central Bank’s ability to carry out its duties efficiently and effectively, ensuring the continuity of providing financial services and achieving economic stability.
Earlier, the House of Representatives issued a decision to appoint Al-Shukri as governor of the bank, before issuing another decision recently to suspend the decision to appoint Al-Shukri.
The presidency approved, in a circular to all sovereign institutions, the continuation of the council’s decision to appoint Al-Siddiq Al-Kabeer as governor of the Central Bank and Marai Al-Barasi as his deputy.
The presidency attributed the suspension in its decision to the expiry of the period of Al-Shukri’s assignment to his duties without him starting his work as governor of the bank.
