Under the banner ‘‘The role of the banking sector in stimulating growth and strengthening the Libyan economy and reducing stagnation‘’ Taher Jehaimi, who has held several top positions including a stint as Governor of the Central Bank of Libya (CBL) and Minister of Planning on more than one occasion, will preside over the 4th Annual Libya Banking Sector Forum to be held in Tunis from 8 to 9 November.
Jehaimi will say in his opening speech that Libya’s banking sector has failed over the last few decades to keep up with banking developments in the rest of the world. This includes the various banking services and products and banking technology as well as gaining the trust of customers.
Furthermore, he will add that these qualitative aspects are important for strengthening the Libyan banking sector, enhancing economic growth, and addressing the problems of liquidity and other bottlenecks faced by bank customers.
