Central Bank of Libya Circular No. 2016/4 on Foreign Currency Regulations for Opening Letters of Credit

The Central Bank of Libya issued Circular No. 2016/4 to regulate foreign currency usage for opening Letters of Credit and importing goods and services. The directive permits client-covered LCs under the agency format while temporarily suspending approvals for non-fully covered import hedging financing until new guidelines are issued. Bank branches must implement these rules promptly and will undergo periodic inspections, with penalties enforced for non-compliance under Law No. 1 of 2005.
