US & Turkey Discuss Libyan Central Bank Crisis

US & Turkey Discuss Libyan Central Bank Crisis
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The US Special Envoy to Libya, Ambassador Richard Norland, met with Turkey’s Deputy Foreign Minister to discuss the crisis surrounding the Central Bank of Libya and explore ways to resolve the country’s political divisions.

Norland stated that his talks in Ankara focused on “how the entire international community can work together to support the negotiations facilitated by the United Nations.” He emphasised the need not only to address the current crisis involving the Central Bank but also to resolve the underlying political divisions to ensure a stable and democratic future for the Libyan people, according to a post by the US Embassy on its X account.

The crisis at the Central Bank erupted following the Presidential Council’s decision to appoint a new governor and restructure its board of directors. This move was rejected by both the House of Representatives and the High Council of State. In response, the government designated by the House of Representatives declared a “force majeure” situation across all oil fields, ports, institutions, and facilities, halting oil production and exports until further notice.

The standoff highlights the deep-rooted divisions within Libya’s political landscape, as competing factions vie for control over key state institutions. The international community, led by the UN, is pushing for a negotiated settlement to the crisis, aiming to stabilise the country and pave the way for elections and governance reforms.

Norland’s discussions in Ankara underscore the importance of a unified international approach to Libya’s complex challenges, including economic management and political reconciliation. The situation remains volatile, with the potential to impact Libya’s oil-dependent economy and broader regional stability if unresolved.
