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.
