The meeting discussed the monetary policies followed by the central bank of Libya and the unfair distribution in granting documentary credits to companies supplying all goods and commodities inside Libya and restricting them to certain goods and specific companies and not others.

The owners of the companies expressed their discomfort regarding these policies taken by the central bank, and that opening credits at the official exchange rate is a legitimate right for them, just like their counterparts from other companies. Leaving certain goods to the national market will cause prices to rise, which will burden the livelihood of ordinary citizens.

Hence, Misurata chamber ,began preparing memorandums in this regard to address the relevant competent authorities to resolve this crisis experienced by the owners of companies that supply and manufacture goods in our beloved country.

It was agreed to form a higher committee of chambers and businessmen attending the meeting to follow up on the crisis allegations with the central bank and relevant authorities.

At the end of the meeting, a final statement was read, expressing their dismay at the monetary policies followed by the central bank of Libya.
