Libyan-Italian economic forum kicks off in Benghazi
The Libyan-Italian Economic Forum officially launched on Tuesday in the city of Benghazi, coinciding with the inauguration of the first direct flight by Italy's national airline from Rome to Benghazi. The three-day forum is hosting around 100 companies, with expectations of over 450 participants including entrepreneurs, institutional representatives, company managers, and Libyan delegates. The President of the Italian-Libyan Chamber of Commerce, Nicola Colicchi, described Benghazi as one of the most stable and dynamic areas in Libya. He emphasized that the event is not a governmental initiative, but rather a business-to-business meeting, according to the Italian outlet Decode39. The event is organized by the Italian-Libyan Chamber of Commerce in collaboration with the Italian Embassy in Tripoli and the Consulate General in Benghazi. During the forum, Italian companies are holding business meetings with local partners, with a focus on eastern Libya, which is currently undergoing infrastructure reconstruction and economic revitalization. The forum also includes sessions on priority sectors identified by Libya's Reconstruction and Development Fund, such as infrastructure, healthcare, water management, port logistics, agriculture, environmental technologies, and sustainable development. Participating Libyan companies operate in sectors including construction, food processing, fisheries, and healthcare. Organizers noted a 'very high demand' for knowledge, technology, and business management expertise — a significant opportunity for Italian small and medium-sized enterprises. Decode39 highlighted that Rome aims to strengthen its strategic presence in a highly competitive environment. Colicchi remarked, 'The Turks are everywhere,' underscoring that the forum reflects efforts to reinforce a structured Italian presence in Libya. The Italian-Libyan Chamber of Commerce is also set to open a new permanent office in Benghazi to serve as a hub for Italian businesses seeking to build sustainable ties with the Libyan market, the outlet reported.

Saleh defends 69 billion dinar budget for Belqasim Haftar's Fund
House of Representatives Speaker, Aguila Saleh, has said that the decision to allocate a budget for the so-called Development and Reconstruction Fund, headed by Belqasim Haftar, for the next three years is a well-considered decision aimed at ensuring the continuity of projects and the fulfilment of obligations without financial obstacles. He warned against attempts to disrupt the fund's work. In his speech in Derna, Saleh attacked the Government of National Unity, saying it had "not completed any valuable projects," contrasting the fund's achievements on the ground with what he described as the government's spending on "non-existent projects," according to his assessment. Saleh's statement comes amid intense disagreement and popular rejection of the budget's approval. On June 2, the House of Representatives discussed a proposed budget allocation for the "Reconstruction Fund," headed by Belqasim Haftar, amounting to 69 billion dinars over three years, at a rate of 23 billion dinars annually. The session witnessed a verbal altercation before concluding with an agreement to form a committee to monitor this budget. On June 3, the official website of the House of Representatives announced the approval of a budget of 69 billion Libyan dinars for the Reconstruction Fund during an unannounced session. However, 113 members of parliament refused to pass the budget, refusing to recognize the approval session, which was attended by only 25 members. They described it as illegal, as it did not achieve the quorum necessary for the session to convene and make crucial decisions. In this context, Presidential Council Head Mohamed Menfi addressed an official letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, stressing the need to adhere to the constitutional and legal process for approving the state's general budget. He warned of the serious repercussions of any unilateral measures that could lead the country into a severe economic crisis. Prime Minister Dbeibah had previously announced, during a meeting with several members of the High Council of State, his categorical rejection of "any parallel spending paths outside the legal framework," warning that such practices "create huge financial burdens on the state and cause deterioration in the value of the Libyan dinar." A Central Bank of Libya official previously warned of a stifling economic crisis if the House of Representatives fails to grasp the seriousness of its decisions to control public spending and respond to the bank's "call for help" to save the national economy and the value of the currency.
