1.2 Billion Libyan Dinars Spent on Salaries & Operating Costs
According to a detailed statement published by the bank, a total of 1,203,902,064 LYD was disbursed under Chapter One (salaries) and Chapter Two (operational expenses). The spending covered various executive and legislative bodies, including the outgoing Government of National Unity (GNU), the Presidential Council, the House of Representatives, and the High Council of State.
The report shows that the outgoing GNU received 44.83 million LYD, while its affiliated bodies were allocated 580.16 million LYD, bringing the total to 624.99 million LYD.
The Presidential Council was allocated 3.73 million LYD, while 210.13 million LYD went to its affiliated institutions, totalling 213.86 million LYD.
The House of Representatives received 25.07 million LYD, and its subordinate institutions were allocated 328.05 million LYD, with a combined total of 353.12 million LYD.
Meanwhile, the High Council of State was allocated 11.93 million LYD during the same period.
These figures come amid ongoing concerns over public spending transparency and budgetary oversight in Libya, particularly as competing administrations and political bodies continue to draw from state funds despite the lack of unified governance.
Libya has been in chaos since a NATO-backed uprising toppled longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The county has for years been split between rival administrations.
Libya's economy, heavily reliant on oil, has suffered due to the ongoing conflict. The instability has led to fluctuations in oil production and prices, impacting the global oil market and Libya's economy.
The conflict has led to a significant humanitarian crisis in Libya, with thousands of people killed, and many more displaced. Migrants and refugees using Libya as a transit point to Europe have also faced dire conditions.
The planned elections for December 2021 were delayed due to disagreements over election laws and the eligibility of certain candidates. This delay has raised concerns about the feasibility of a peaceful political transition.
Despite the ceasefire, security remains a significant concern with sporadic fighting and the presence of mercenaries and foreign fighters. The unification of the military and the removal of foreign forces are crucial challenges. Tags: cblGNUHCSlibyaLibyan parliament

Libya Confirms 4,200 BPD Oil Discovery
The National Oil Corporation (NOC) has announced a commercial oil discovery in the Ghadames Basin with an estimated production capacity of 4,200 barrels per day. In a statement on Tuesday, the NOC said the National Drilling Company began mobilizing Rig No. 11 to the site to drill three strategic wells for Sonatrach-SIPEX, under an Integrated Project Management (IPM) approach, in partnership with leading international and local companies. NOC Chairman praised the National Drilling Company's role, highlighting the efforts of its negotiation team, which secured strategic partnerships that enhance its position as a reliable partner in major drilling projects, particularly those meeting global standards for integrated projects. The statement noted that this achievement follows a series of recent successes, including reactivating rigs No. 13, 12, and 33 and adding them back to the company's fleet. These steps reflect a strong commitment to operational readiness, improved performance efficiency, and revenue growth, bolstering competitiveness in domestic markets. Regarding Sonatrach's operations in Libya, the Algerian company was granted an exploration and production sharing license during the 2008 public bidding round. The NOC confirmed the commerciality of the A-65/2 oil discovery in the Ghadames Basin, achieved by Sonatrach, paving the way for development and early production. Production rates are expected to exceed 4,000 barrels per day, as part of the NOC's ongoing strategy to boost Libya's oil and gas reserves and strengthen its energy sector.

73 Migrants Rescued Off Libyan Coast
The German humanitarian group Sea-Watch announced on Tuesday that it had rescued 73 migrants in two separate operations off the coast of Libya on Monday, according to Reuters. In a statement, the organization said the first rescue operation took place at night and involved saving six migrants from a boat in critical condition. The second operation saw 67 people rescued from an overcrowded vessel. According to data from the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), 2024 recorded a 24% drop in the number of migrants arriving in Europe via the sea, with around 200,000 arrivals. However, the UNHCR stressed that death and disappearance rates remain high, estimating that at least 3,500 people died or went missing in 2024 while attempting to cross sea routes leading to Spain, Italy, Malta, Greece, and Cyprus.

Ankara Seeks to Unify Libya's Strategic Space with Pakistan's Help
A recent analysis by Greek City Times has highlighted the formation of a new geopolitical axis involving Turkey, Pakistan, and both the Libyan Government of Stability in the east and the Government of National Unity (GNU) led by Abdel-Hamid Dbaiba. The report warns that this evolving partnership poses a direct threat to Greek strategic and maritime interests in the Eastern Mediterranean. The report notes that the alliance is gaining both operational and strategic dimensions, citing the July visit of Lieutenant General Saddam Haftar, Chief of Staff of the Ground Forces of Libya's eastern-based General Command, to Pakistan. During the visit, Haftar signed an agreement to strengthen bilateral naval cooperation. This move is seen as significant given that eastern Libya, historically opposed to Turkey, is now engaging with Pakistan — one of Ankara's closest military allies. The Turkish–Pakistani partnership spans defense industries and joint naval exercises. The report warns that Pakistan's growing presence in the Mediterranean is concerning due to its lack of historical role in the region, its nuclear capabilities, and potential to transfer expertise in drones and missiles to Libya via Turkey. The article recalls the 2019 maritime boundary agreement signed between Turkey and Libya, which Athens rejects as it disregards Greek maritime rights. According to the report, Turkey has been seeking to reinforce the deal by holding informal talks with representatives from eastern Libya in a bid to gain partial acceptance. The analysis concludes that Ankara aims to create a unified strategic cooperation sphere in Libya, linking it to Pakistan and bolstering Turkey's influence in the Mediterranean. The report urges Athens to reassess its strategic posture, noting that Turkey is no longer acting alone but alongside a nuclear-armed ally. Tags: Al-Ahly TripoliFootballlibyaOsama Hammad
