This movement comes amid an economic situation witnessing increasing pressure on the exchange market, despite interventions by the Central Bank of Libya in recent weeks, injecting over two billion dollars through credits and personal purposes, in addition to distributing wide liquidity to banks in an attempt to calm the market and curb the pace of the rise. However, the impact of these measures remains limited in the face of high demand for foreign currency.
