Libya Political Risk Report (Mar 13, 2026)

Big-Picture Outlook

The Government of National Unity (GNU) has completed its cabinet reshuffle, as Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dabaiba tries to reinforce his position in Tripoli.

A recent public report by the Central Bank of Libya (CBL) on February’s finances clashed with figures from the National Oil Corporation (NOC), raising questions about official reporting.

The House of Representatives (HoR) in Benghazi continues to try to internally resolve the issue surrounding rumoured import taxes.

Key Highlights

• Government of National Unity (GNU) Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dabaiba held an official meeting with his new cabinet, claiming the appointments were to “elevate the level of government performance”.
• Presidential Council (PC) Chairman Mohammed al-Mnefi officially approved the new cabinet, saying that it had filled government vacancies and followed proper procedures.
• The Central Bank of Libya (CBL) released a public report detailing revenues and expenses for the month of January, contradicting revenue numbers that had been provided by the National Oil Corporation (NOC)
• The NOC issued a corrective statement on February’s oil revenues, confirming the CBL report but also issuing clarifications to its own statistics.
• House of Representatives (HoR) Speaker Agila Saleh called on the CBL to avoid the implementation of new import taxes approved by the HoR.
