Fiscal Year 2021
Technical Assistance
Banking Supervision (June 14-21)
METAC continued assisting the Central Bank of Libya (CBL) in strengthening its Islamic banking regulatory framework. It developed a fact-finding survey, and coordinated with the authorities on the responses obtained, which were considered in the development of regulations for equity investment and operational management risks.
Statistics (July 20-30)
METAC assisted the Libyan Bureau of Statistics and Census to improve consumer price index (CPI) compilation methods and addressing continuity issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The assistance identified improvements to the collection of rent, demonstrated techniques to impute for missing prices and indexes, and identified potential sources to partially update CPI weights.
