Numisma Bank to Supply New US Dollar Cash Shipments to Libya’s Central Bank
Libya’s Central Bank (CBL) is preparing to receive new batches of US dollar cash as part of an ongoing effort to stabilize foreign currency availability in the country. Numisma Bank, a global bank contracted by the CBL, has confirmed its readiness to supply additional dollar shipments during the next phase of its cooperation with Libya.
The announcement comes after the completion of the first phase of dollar distribution across Libyan commercial banks. That initial phase helped improve access to cash dollars for citizens and reduced pressure on the local currency market.
Now, both sides are moving into a second phase. Numisma Bank has pledged to supply larger volumes of US dollar cash, depending on the Central Bank of Libya’s demand and market needs. The goal is to ensure a steady flow of foreign currency into the banking system.
According to recent discussions in Tripoli, the Central Bank of Libya and Numisma Bank reviewed progress made so far and confirmed their commitment to continue cooperation. Officials also highlighted improvements in banking operations and distribution systems that have helped commercial banks deliver cash dollars more efficiently to citizens.
Numisma Bank, which specializes in wholesale banknote services, works with central banks and financial institutions to supply physical currency in multiple regions. The bank says it can provide secure delivery of banknotes and support financial stability through structured cash shipments.
Libya has faced long-standing challenges with foreign currency access and cash liquidity. In recent months, the Central Bank has expanded official dollar distribution channels in an effort to reduce reliance on informal markets and improve transparency in foreign exchange access.
The new phase of dollar supply is expected to continue supporting these reforms. It also reflects growing cooperation between Libya’s financial authorities and international banking partners.
For the Central Bank of Libya, the priority remains clear: maintain stability in the foreign exchange market and ensure citizens can access dollars through official banking channels.
