The meeting was held at the House of Representatives’ headquarters and included key figures from the Committee on Planning, Finance and the General Budget. Among those present were committee chairman Omar Tantoush, deputy chair Mahdi Al-Aour, rapporteur Amer Omran, and other members. Also attending was Zayed Hadiya, head of the Committee for Oversight Bodies.
The talks focused on the draft budget submitted by the Hammad-led government. Discussions aimed to align the legislative and executive branches to ensure the budget meets national needs while promoting fiscal efficiency and transparency.
Prime Minister Hammad emphasised the importance of drafting a budget that guarantees transparency and fairness in resource allocation. He called for accelerating the approval process to strengthen financial stability and support Libya’s economic recovery.
The meeting also included representatives from the Ministry of Planning and Finance: Ahmed Al-Hassi, Azeldin Al-Menfi, and Fathi Al-Toumi. The Prime Minister’s Public Affairs Adviser was also in attendance.
Hammad stressed the government’s commitment to preparing a realistic and equitable budget that addresses urgent public service demands and improves spending efficiency. The session underscored the growing cooperation between Libya’s legislative and executive institutions, amid ongoing efforts to stabilise public finances.
The Parliament-designate government continues to seek broader consensus on national fiscal policy, especially as Libya faces mounting economic and political challenges.
