US pushes for unified Libyan budget

The US has aligned itself with the United Nations mission in emphasising the critical importance of establishing a unified budget for Libya, describing it as an urgent priority for improving the nation’s financial governance.

In a statement posted on X, formerly Twitter, the US Embassy in Libya underscored that a consolidated budget would serve as a crucial tool for enhancing transparency and strengthening fiscal management across the country.

The programme comes as part of broader international efforts to help Libya address its economic challenges and establish more effective financial oversight mechanisms. A unified budget would create a more cohesive framework for managing the nation’s resources and public finances.

“Having a unified budget for Libya is an urgent priority to improve transparency,” the embassy stated, highlighting the alignment between US and UN objectives in promoting better governance throughout the North African nation.
