In a statement issued today, the Presidency Council of the Government of National Accord called on the administration of the Central Bank of Libya to attend an emergency meeting through circuit television to exercise all its legal powers as well as to set and execute monetary and banking policies.
Al Sarraj added that the administration should assume its responsibility to take necessary and urging measures to unite the CBL.
The government is not only ready to take the necessary steps that would facilitate the meeting, but it is also committed to follow up on the instructions issued in the interest of Libya.
He also said that the CBL Governor Al Siddiq Al Kabir had halted the transfer and clearing systems at the bank and delayed salaries that had been referred to the CBL on a monthly basis by the Ministry of Finance.
Al Sarraj indicated that this behavior has caused huge damage to the income of Libyan citizens, in addition to the interference in state economic and financial policies, saying such a behavior could have serious consequences.
Al Sarraj called upon UNSMIL to provide the necessary technical support for the conduct of this meeting.
