It is instead the product of <strong>institutional chaos<\/strong> and a <strong>lack of coordination<\/strong> between economic policies, fed by a <strong>socialist mindset<\/strong> that continues to shape both state and societal behavior. Adding to this is a more dangerous phenomenon: <strong>speculation on the U.S. dollar<\/strong>, which has turned the foreign exchange market into a source of quick profit rather than a driver of national production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Between Theory and Practice<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In major economies, inflation has been used as a <strong>means of stimulating recovery<\/strong> after crises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the <strong>United States<\/strong>, the Federal Reserve injected liquidity into the banking system following the 2008 crisis through <strong>quantitative easing (QE)<\/strong>, temporarily raising inflation but reviving economic activity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In <strong>Japan<\/strong>, the <em>Abenomics<\/em> policy targeted <strong>2% inflation<\/strong> to break a long deflationary period.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>European Union<\/strong> also adopted expansionary monetary policy after the COVID-19 pandemic to avoid recession.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These examples demonstrate that inflation is <strong>not always an economic disease<\/strong>\u2014it can serve as a <strong>remedy<\/strong>, but only when there are <strong>strong institutions<\/strong> and <strong>sound economic governance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Arab Experiences: Morocco and Jordan as Models<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the Arab world, some resource-limited countries have managed to <strong>control prices<\/strong> despite external challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In <strong>Morocco<\/strong>, the Central Bank successfully kept inflation within <strong>2\u20133%<\/strong>, thanks to an <strong>inflation-targeting policy<\/strong> and <strong>coordination between monetary and fiscal policies<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In <strong>Jordan<\/strong>, the <strong>stability of the dinar\u2019s exchange rate<\/strong> and the government\u2019s <strong>commitment to fiscal discipline<\/strong> helped protect the economy from imported inflationary shocks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These two cases show that <strong>monetary stability doesn\u2019t require oil wealth<\/strong>\u2014it requires <strong>institutional credibility<\/strong> and <strong>coordinated decision-making<\/strong> in economic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Libyan Case: Inflation Without Policy Tools<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In contrast, the Libyan economy suffers from <strong>unproductive inflation<\/strong>, resulting from the <strong>absence of effective monetary policy tools<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Central Bank of Libya<\/strong> lacks real control over <strong>money supply<\/strong> and <strong>interest rates<\/strong>, operating under a <strong>dual exchange rate system<\/strong>\u2014official and parallel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This environment has fostered <strong>speculation and corruption<\/strong>, eroding confidence in the <strong>Libyan dinar<\/strong>. As a result, Libya faces <strong>cost-push inflation<\/strong> driven by <strong>currency instability<\/strong>, not by an increase in <strong>production<\/strong> or <strong>demand<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Speculation on the Dollar: The Hidden Fuel of Inflation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the main causes of inflation in Libya is <strong>foreign currency speculation<\/strong>.<br>Those who possess foreign exchange\u2014whether traders, powerful entities, or ordinary citizens seeking to protect their savings\u2014buy and hoard dollars or resell them in the <strong>parallel market<\/strong> for quick profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These practices create <strong>artificial demand<\/strong> for dollars and continuously push its price upward.<br>This, in turn, raises the <strong>cost of imports<\/strong>, leading to higher prices for goods and services in the local market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>gap between the official and parallel exchange rates<\/strong> has also created fertile ground for speculation.<br>Some <strong>importers<\/strong> and <strong>officials<\/strong> exploit this gap by diverting foreign currency from <strong>letters of credit<\/strong> into the <strong>black market<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of channeling foreign exchange toward <strong>productive imports<\/strong> or <strong>real investment<\/strong>, it has become a <strong>tool for quick financial gain<\/strong>, turning Libyan inflation into both <strong>monetary<\/strong> and <strong>speculative inflation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This type of inflation <strong>weakens the economy<\/strong>, as it generates <strong>no added value<\/strong>, fails to <strong>stimulate production<\/strong>, and <strong>deepens rentier dependency<\/strong> while worsening the fragility of the national currency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fiscal Dependence and the Persistence of Oil Rent<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Libya\u2019s <strong>public finances<\/strong> remain <strong>heavily dependent on oil revenues<\/strong>, amid a <strong>weak tax system<\/strong> and an inability to <strong>manage domestic demand<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whenever oil prices fall, <strong>inflation<\/strong> and <strong>fiscal deficits<\/strong> re-emerge\u2014exposing the structural fragility of an economy reliant on a single source of funding, with no productive alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Socialist Legacy: A Mindset That Fuels Inflation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inflation in Libya cannot be separated from the <strong>socialist legacy<\/strong> entrenched over decades.<br>The prevailing economic mentality still holds the <strong>state responsible<\/strong> for providing jobs, income, and subsidies, while viewing the <strong>private sector with suspicion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This legacy has produced three major problems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Overdependence on public sector employment<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Weak culture of production and entrepreneurship<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Resistance to price liberalization and competition<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, every rise in prices is met with calls for <strong>increased subsidies<\/strong>, creating a <strong>vicious inflationary cycle<\/strong> that is difficult to break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Consequences of Uncontrolled Inflation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Erosion of citizens\u2019 purchasing power.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expansion of the <strong>parallel market<\/strong> and decline of the <strong>formal economy<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Capital flight and loss of confidence in the national currency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rising <strong>poverty rates<\/strong> and <strong>social inequality<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Decline in <strong>domestic production<\/strong> and <strong>long-term investment<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reforming the Mindset Before the Numbers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inflation in Libya is not merely a <strong>monetary imbalance<\/strong>\u2014it is a <strong>crisis of economic culture and institutions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without genuine <strong>independence for the Central Bank<\/strong>, <strong>tax system reform<\/strong>, <strong>gradual exchange rate liberalization<\/strong>, and <strong>control over dollar speculation<\/strong>, inflation will remain an <strong>erosive, not stimulative<\/strong>, force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest challenge lies not only in policy but in <strong>changing the economic mindset<\/strong>: shifting from <strong>state dependence<\/strong> to building a <strong>productive economy<\/strong> driven by <strong>citizens and the private sector<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, the <strong>strength of a currency<\/strong> is not measured by the amount of oil a country possesses\u2014but by the <strong>trust<\/strong>, <strong>institutions<\/strong>, and <strong>modern economic thinking<\/strong> it upholds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
