He urged the enforcement of legal penalties against individuals and entities involved in this illegal activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Governor noted that the Central Bank has granted licenses to a number of exchange companies and offices, authorizing them to conduct foreign currency transactions. These entities are tasked with buying and selling foreign exchange according to the law and through official channels\u2014namely, through the licensed companies and exchange offices established under the legal framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He emphasized that speculation in foreign currencies has become an openly organized activity in the parallel market and now represents one of the biggest economic challenges facing both the Central Bank and the Libyan state. This illegal trade fuels demand for foreign currency in the parallel market, which in turn finances illicit activities and contributes to the expansion of money laundering and terrorism financing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sada.ly\/en\/contents\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/image_2025-07-01_120303260.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-254117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sada.ly\/en\/contents\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/image_2025-07-01_120303260.png 750w, https:\/\/sada.ly\/en\/contents\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/image_2025-07-01_120303260-703x960.png 703w, https:\/\/sada.ly\/en\/contents\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/image_2025-07-01_120303260-220x300.png 220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our source has exclusively obtained a letter from the Governor of the Central Bank of Libya addressed to the Minister of Interior in the Government of National Unity.
