Trusted Institutions and Wider Services: Tetiteh Sets Out Conditions for Building Confidence in Libya’s Economy
LIBYA – The Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Libya, Hanna Tetiteh, and her deputy and UN Resident Coordinator in Libya, Ulrika Richardson, took part on Tuesday in the opening of the Arab Conference on Saving and Financial Literacy 2026 in Tripoli, hosted by the Central Bank of Libya and bringing together policymakers, financial institutions, development partners and experts from across North Africa and the Middle East.
Political Stability and Economic Future Interlinked
In her remarks, Tetiteh stressed that political stability and Libya’s economic future are closely linked.
She noted that building citizens’ trust requires trusted institutions that manage resources with transparency and accountability, alongside an economy that gives all Libyans wider access to financial services and economic opportunities.
Inclusion, Literacy and Digital Services
She added that expanding access to financial services and strengthening financial literacy and digital financial services can enable more Libyans across the country to take part in the formal economy, make informed financial decisions, and benefit from Libya’s economic potential.
UN Commitment to a More Resilient Economy
Tetiteh affirmed the United Nations’ commitment to supporting Libyan institutions in building a more transparent, inclusive and resilient economy that delivers tangible results for all Libyans.
