TRIPOLI — The Economy Track of the Structured Dialogue concluded its fourth and final working session this week, marking an important step toward finalising a comprehensive set of recommendations aimed at supporting Libya’s economic reform and stabilisation efforts.
Over four days of intensive discussions, participants worked through the draft outcome document to confirm areas of consensus, refine language, and strengthen the clarity, coherence, and implementability of recommendations. Discussions reflected a strong commitment among participants to develop practical proposals that respond to Libya’s pressing economic governance challenges while laying the groundwork for longer-term reform.
The draft includes recommendations spanning a wide range of economic issues, including financial governance and public financial management, the management of oil revenues and sovereign resources, economic restructuring and diversification, balanced development and economic justice across Libya, macroeconomic stability and economic policy, and as economic transparency and accountability. Participants also discussed ways to support implementation of the recommendations through national engagement, institutional coordination, and international support.
Special Representative of the Secretary-General Hanna Tetteh, who attended the session on 19 May, underscored the importance of the Economy Track to Libya’s broader stabilisation efforts.
“Political progress cannot be sustained without economic reforms that improve governance, strengthen public confidence, and deliver tangible benefits to citizens,” SRSG Tetteh said. “Likewise, economic reforms require political consensus and unified institutions to be effectively implemented.”
The final recommendations of the economic track are expected to be published during the Structured Dialogue plenary meeting scheduled for 7 June.
