Libya Launches Nationwide Field Training Programme for Engineering Graduates
According to a statement published by the Fund on Facebook, the programme is titled 'Rebuilding the Nation with the Hands of Its Sons'. It will run for 90 days and be conducted across multiple Libyan cities and regions where the Fund operates. The initiative is being implemented in partnership with several private sector companies.
The programme offers participants valuable on-site training opportunities and will provide financial stipends throughout the duration of the course. It is designed to help young engineers gain practical experience while contributing to the country's post-conflict reconstruction efforts.
Importantly, the Fund confirmed that those who successfully complete the programme will receive priority consideration for future employment opportunities within the organisation. Job placements will depend on project needs, performance evaluations, and individual commitment shown during the training period.
The statement emphasised that the initiative is open to all graduates of Libyan universities without exception, reflecting a national commitment to inclusive development and capacity building.
'This is a real opportunity to contribute to Libya's reconstruction, gain field experience, and embark on a promising career path within one of the country's largest development projects,' the statement concluded.
The move comes as Libya continues efforts to rebuild critical infrastructure and invest in human capital, particularly by integrating young professionals into the country's development sector. Tags: Belgassem HaftarlibyaLibyan EngineersReconstruction

Tunisia Expands Diplomatic Presence in Eastern Libya
Tunisia has announced it will reopen its consulate in Benghazi on 12 May, aiming to provide services to Tunisian nationals living in the city and surrounding areas. A presidential decree issued last Monday formally established the Tunisian Consulate General in Benghazi. The decision, published in the country's Official Gazette on Tuesday, followed consultations with the constitution and the opinion of the Administrative Court regarding the organisation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Migration, and Tunisians Abroad. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the reopening reflected Tunisia's 'ongoing commitment to bringing services closer to citizens living abroad.' The Benghazi mission will offer services to Tunisians residing in Benghazi, Jabal Al-Akhdar, Derna, Tobruk, Umm Saad, Jalu, Al-Bayda, Al-Marj, Al-Aqurah, Qumbuns, Ajdabiya, Brega, and Kufra. The consulate will handle all requests from Tunisian citizens in these Libyan cities, providing administrative and consular assistance designed to address the needs and concerns of the Tunisian community in eastern Libya. Authorities said the move is expected to reduce the need for long-distance travel to access essential services. The decision marks a significant step in strengthening Tunisia's diplomatic presence in Libya, particularly in regions where a large number of its nationals reside. It also reflects the gradual expansion of foreign diplomatic missions in Benghazi, which has seen increased political and economic engagement in recent years. The reopening of the consulate comes amid broader efforts to enhance Tunisian–Libyan relations, encourage cross-border economic ties, and ensure the welfare of expatriates living in Libya.

Is the Central Bank's New Forex Strategy Enough to Stop the Black Market?
The Central Bank of Libya (CBL) has intensified its efforts to stabilize the country's currency and curb the black-market dollar rate, injecting billions of dollars into the economy and expanding the number of licensed currency exchange offices nationwide. In its latest update, the Bank confirmed it had processed over $1.6 billion in letters of credit through its new electronic platform. The total number of credit allocations reached 1,887, covering a wide range of commercial sectors. The new system is now directly linked to commercial banks, enabling faster approvals and processing. Additionally, the Bank disclosed that on August 3 and 4 alone, it sold over $1 billion in foreign exchange, along with $464 million for personal transfers. Including pending approvals from the previous system, the total released over those two days reached $940 million. To strengthen oversight and transparency, the Bank issued 52 final licenses for new exchange companies, bringing the total number of licensed money service businesses to 187 nationwide. CBL Governor Saddek El-Kaber (also known by his full name, Nagie Issa) reiterated the Bank's goal of driving the parallel market dollar rate below 7 Libyan dinars, calling exchange rate stability a 'national responsibility.' But despite these aggressive interventions, the unofficial exchange rate remains stubbornly high. On Tuesday, the black market dollar exchange rate stood at 7.81 LYD, compared to the official rate of 5.44 LYD, a difference of more than 2.37 dinars. Analysts warn that without a unified economic policy and political coordination across Libya's divided institutions, these monetary measures may fall short. They say real reform must address structural issues and governance challenges that allow the parallel market to thrive. Tags: black marketCentral BanklibyaUS Dollar
