The meeting aimed to brief participants on the economic paper that Engineer Al-Shibani will present as part of the Committee’s work, and to gather the views and observations of the private sector on its content.
Engineer Abdulrahim Al-Shibani outlined the visions of the Economic Track of the Structured Dialogue Committee, emphasizing that any genuine economic reform must be based on sustainable foundations, including diversification of income sources, reform of fiscal and monetary policies, and the strengthening of governance and transparency principles.
During the meeting, participants stressed the importance of ensuring that any future economic reform plans reflect the vision of the private sector, as a key partner in achieving sustainable development.
The meeting also reviewed the role of the Libya Industrial Development Fund and the Libyan Cooperative Company in supporting economic stability. The Council urged members of the Economic Track to attend the Forum of Cooperative Companies and Financial Institutions, which will be organized by the Council in mid-January under the patronage and support of the High Council of State.
The meeting was attended by the executive management and the Board of Directors of the Council, members of the Advisory Council, a member of the Economic Committee of the High Council of State, representatives of the Libyan Cooperative Company, the Libya Industrial Development Fund, the Islamic Development Bank, as well as a number of business owners affiliated with the Council.
The Libyan Business Owners Council also announced its intention to launch a wide-ranging opinion survey at the beginning of next week targeting the private sector. The survey aims to formulate a unified and comprehensive economic vision, which will later be submitted to the Structured Dialogue Committee and the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) to serve as a foundation for national economic decision-making.
