Libya's Parliament to Debate 2025 Budget
Libyan Member of Parliament Aisha Al-Tublqi confirmed that the House of Representatives will dedicate its upcoming session to discussing the draft state budget for 2025. In statements to the press, Al-Tublqi said the proposed budget stands at 160 billion dinars. She added that if lawmakers reach an agreement during Monday's session, the budget is expected to be formally approved in Tuesday's sitting. The MP revealed that the House has extended an invitation to the Governor of the Central Bank of Libya to attend the deliberations. However, his participation has not yet been confirmed. Al-Tublqi underlined that the main objective of the debate is to finalise a unified version of the budget. She stressed that the document must guarantee the state's ability to meet its financial and administrative needs in 2025, particularly amid ongoing economic and fiscal challenges. The 2025 budget proposal is seen as a crucial step for Libya, which continues to face deep political divides and competing institutions. Analysts note that approving a unified budget could help stabilise public spending and provide clarity on allocations for essential sectors such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure. However, questions remain over revenue streams and whether the Central Bank will align with the parliament's vision. The participation—or absence—of the Central Bank Governor in the discussions could play a decisive role in shaping the debate. Observers suggest that a consensus on the budget would signal rare cooperation between Libya's fractured institutions. But failure to adopt the proposal risks further delays, deepening uncertainty over state expenditures and services in the year ahead. Tags: BudgetCentral Banklibyaparliament

Libya Set to Record Fastest Economic Growth in Arab World
Libya is projected to lead the Arab world in economic growth in 2025, according to the latest estimates from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The IMF expects Libya's gross domestic product (GDP) to expand by 17.3%, the highest growth rate among Arab countries. These projections are consistent with forecasts by the Arab Monetary Fund, which estimated that the Libyan economy will grow by around 14.3% next year, once again ranking it first among Arab economies in terms of growth pace. International media outlets, including CNN Business, also highlighted Libya's position at the top of the list of fastest-growing Arab economies in 2025. Libya's projected growth far outpaces that of Djibouti (6%), Mauritania (4.4%), the UAE (4%), Somalia (4%), Morocco (3.9%), Egypt (3.8%), Algeria (3.5%), Saudi Arabia (3%), and Bahrain (2.8%). The robust growth outlook is largely driven by expectations of stable oil production levels, improving economic conditions, and ongoing reconstruction and development plans. These factors present significant opportunities to strengthen Libya's economic and social stability in the coming years. The accelerated growth further reflects positive indicators tied to Libya's oil sector stability, an improving investment climate, and continued efforts to enhance infrastructure and expand economic activity across multiple sectors.
