Al-Darija: “The exchange rate should have been reduced to less than 3 dinars. However, leaving it like this to exceed five dinars in the parallel market is the impoverishment of Libyans”

The Economist Mohsen Al-Darija said that the goal of unifying the exchange rate was never to keep it at 4.50 dinars to impoverish people and make life difficult, but the goal was to reduce it to a new unified rate that every Libyan can reach and be less than 3 dinars.

Al-Darija added that leaving the exchange rate at 4.50 dinars and its rise now to more than 5.11 in the parallel market, is considered as impoverishment of the Libyans, especially in light of the significant rise in oil prices in global markets during the last period.
