According to the licenses registered within the Municipality of Central Tripoli, about 3,000 businesses have been forced to close their doors because of the Coronavirus.

In order to help business owners hurt by the coronavirus epidemic to overcome the difficult circumstances resulting from the curfew.

The municipality submitted a proposal to Libya’s Presidential Council to allocate 500 LYD per month, as a minimum, in order to help stave off the economic effects of Covid-19 and help small business owners. It also added that this aid project will require around half a million Libyan dinars per month.
