The General Union of Chambers of Commerce reported yesterday that the Deputy Prime Minister of the Tripoli based Libyan government, Salem Al-Zadma —accompanied by the Minister of Economy and Trade and the Minister of State for Digital Economy and Artificial Intelligence—launched the Second Phase of the Unified Digital System for the General Union of Chambers of Commerce.
This, the General Union of Chambers said comes as part of a strategic shift toward digital transformation and the development of the business environment.
The launch took place during the opening of the second edition of the Permanent Libyan Economic Forum, held in Tripoli on 11 November. The launch was overseen by the Ministry of Economy and Trade and attended by high-level officials, including several ministers, members of the House of Representatives and the High Council of State, heads of various public and private institutions, prominent business leaders, and members of the diplomatic corps accredited to Libya.
Key features and legal/regulatory objectives of the Second Phase:
The phase includes the comprehensive digitization of certificates of origin, enabling the electronic submission of applications and the issuance of such certificates for all members of Chambers of Commerce across Libya. The benefits of utilizing this digital system include:
- Ensuring the standardization of operational mechanisms and commercial transactions across all Chambers of Commerce in the country.
- Reducing reliance on traditional paper-based processes while enhancing the security and credibility of issued commercial documents.
- Streamlining procedures and shortening the time required to complete transactions. This step represents an extension of the efforts made by the General Union of Chambers and the Ministry of Economy and Trade to modernize the digital infrastructure of the trade sector, and it underscores the commitment of state institutions to fostering a competitive business environment that aligns with international standards and supports the national economy, both regionally and globally.
It will be recalled that the First Phase of the system was launched in March 2026.
