Appointment of Director General of Export Development Center

The Council of Ministers appointed Mohamed Al-Saghir Al-Hanqari as Director General of the Export Development Center, effective March 26, 2025. This leadership appointment follows the 2006 establishment decision of the Center and is part of ongoing institutional staffing under the Government of National Unity.

This appointment signals potential renewed activity at the Export Development Center after a period of institutional uncertainty. Foreign companies exporting from Libya or considering Libya as an export platform should monitor whether the new director implements active trade facilitation measures, streamlines export documentation, or engages with international trade networks. The implications remain limited unless accompanied by substantive policy reforms or operational capacity improvements at the Center.
