On 9 October, the Libya Review reported that the Washington Times has published a report about corruption in the Libyan financial system. It reported that corruption within Libya’s financial system continues to be a major stumbling block, threatening to block Libya’s path towards a more stable and secure future. According to the report, the Governor of the Central Bank of Libya (CBL), Sadiq al-Kabir and his allies, control significant amounts of revenues, and they have built a network of businessmen-enablers who exploit the black market and shadow economy for illicit profits.
