Central Bank of Libya

The Central Bank of Libya is the central bank of the State of Libya, established in 1956 after the country’s independence, with its main headquarters in Tripoli. It plays a pivotal role in managing Libyan monetary policy and issuing the national currency (the Libyan dinar). The bank experienced a split during the period from 2014 to 2021 due to the political conflict in the country, with two competing branches in Tripoli and Benghazi, before being reunified.
