Louay Al-Grew, Director of the Media Office at the Libyan Investment Authority, confirmed exclusively to our source that the Libyan Investment Authority recorded growth in the total value of its investment portfolio, according to its 2025 financial performance statement. This growth was driven by several factors, most notably the significant rise in stock prices across global financial markets, which directly increased the value of the Authority’s equity holdings.
Al-Grew added that the Authority also achieved higher returns from investments in deposits. Part of this increase is attributed to rising global interest rates, while another part is due to its ability to reinvest a portion of its cash balances, based on a United Nations Security Council resolution that allows reinvestment while maintaining the asset freeze.
He explained that these results reflect the Authority’s ability to efficiently utilize low-risk financial instruments, alongside improved liquidity management within the framework of compliance with international regulations and decisions.
Al-Grew noted that these assets and funds remain subject to the asset freeze decisions issued by the UN Security Council.
