Libya’s central bank, at the centre of a weeks-long crisis that has slashed oil output, remains cut off from the international financial system, its veteran governor who was removed by political factions in a contested move told Reuters on Thursday.
“All international banks that we deal with, more than 30 major international institutions, have suspended all transactions,” he said, adding that he also remained in contact with other institutions including the International Monetary Fund, the US Treasury and JPMorgan. Kabir said the board appointed by the western factions had, however, gained control over Libya’s internal transactions systems, including salary payments.The disputed board appointed by Presidency Council head Mohammed al-Menfi last month has said it has granted letters of credit in dollars and euros to several companies and has previously denied that foreign banks are not dealing with it.
He said he is in touch with both the parliament and the HSC, but not with Menfi or Prime Minister Abdulhamid al-Dbeibah.
