Libyan Prime Minister Osama Hammad expressed his gratitude and appreciation to the Speaker and members of the House of Representatives, as well as the Head and members of the High Council of State, for their historic national stance that reflects their sense of responsibility towards the country during this critical period.
This statement came after the two councils successfully reached an agreement to approve the appointment of a new governor for the Central Bank of Libya and his deputy.
Hammad also extended his thanks to the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL), as well as international and diplomatic missions, for their significant efforts that contributed to reaching this important agreement.
The Prime Minister congratulated the newly appointed governor and his deputy on their roles in these sovereign positions, urging them to make every effort to safeguard the state’s financial standing and unify the country’s financial institutions, particularly the Central Bank of Libya.
In his concluding remarks, Hamad emphasized the importance of prioritizing the interests of the country and its people above all else, hoping that this step marks the beginning of unifying other public institutions and bringing Libyans together under one banner.
Earlier, the House of Representatives unanimously voted to appoint Nagy Issa Belgasem as the new Governor of the Central Bank of Libya, with Merai Muftah Raheel Al-Burasi appointed as his deputy.
House spokesperson Abdullah Blehaq confirmed that Monday’s session, attended by 108 members and chaired by Speaker Ageela Saleh, resulted in the approval of the agreement and the appointment of the new leadership.
Blehaq also noted that a Board of Directors for the Central Bank would be formed within ten days of the agreement’s ratification.
