In a statement to WTV, the economist Omar Al-Zarmouh said that the Central Bank of Libya is supposed to publish data on its foreign exchange reserves as a part of its commitment to transparency, pointing out that Banking Act stipulates that data should be disseminated in the Official Journal.
Al-Zarmouh added that those who follow up the CBL’s statements will note that the reserves were published to the limit of 2015, which means that the bank intended an information blackout in order to avoid many problems.
