Decision No. 91/2025: Official Working Hours During Ramadan 1446H (2025)

The Prime Minister has set official working hours for Ramadan 2025 (1446H) from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, a reduction from standard hours. The decision takes effect immediately upon issuance on 26 February 2025. This is a recurring annual adjustment for the Islamic holy month.

Foreign operators should expect reduced government office hours (9 AM–2 PM) and likely reduced private sector productivity during Ramadan 2025, which begins approximately 1 March 2025. Banking transactions, customs clearance, licensing applications, and government approvals will operate on compressed schedules. Companies with Libyan operations should adjust project timelines, meeting schedules, and delivery expectations accordingly. This is standard practice across Libya and the broader MENA region during Ramadan.
