The Islamic Development Bank Institute (IsDBI), under an IsDB‑funded Technical Assistance Project, organised three specialised capacity‑building programmes for the Central Bank of Libya (CBL) in Tripoli between 4 and 22 October 2026.

More than 60 senior CBL professionals attended the courses, each of which comprised 20 intensive training sessions spread over five days.

The three programmes focused on Shari’ah‑compliant monetary policy tools, liquidity management in the banking system, and treasury management in central banks.

Subject‑matter experts Dr Mohammed Saleh Ayyash (IsDBI) and Dr Fathalrahman Ali Mohammed Saleh (Financial Investment Bank, Sudan) led the sessions, covering advanced topics such as Islamic financial instrument design, Sukuk pricing, liquidity analysis, central‑bank interventions, and credit‑risk management.

Participants engaged in case studies, practical exercises and discussions linking treasury operations, monetary policy and financial stability, receiving certificates upon successful completion.

Feedback from attendees was highly positive, with participants praising the relevance, quality and practical orientation of the training.

In parallel, IsDBI officials held meetings with Libyan institutions—including the Ministry of Finance, Areefi Bank, Aljomhoria Bank and the newly approved Saving and Real Estate Investment Bank—to discuss project implementation progress and identify further technical assistance needs.

The initiative underscores IsDBI’s ongoing commitment to building human capital and strengthening institutional capacity for Islamic finance across its member states.
