Decision No. 467 of 2022: Allocation of 200 Million Dinars for Hajj Mission

The Council of Ministers allocated 200 million dinars from the miscellaneous items budget line to the General Authority for Hajj and Umrah Affairs to cover 2022 Hajj mission expenses. The General Treasury will fully subsidize Hajj costs for all Libyan pilgrims this year from this allocation.

This decision has minimal direct impact on foreign commercial operators. It represents a significant fiscal commitment (200 million dinars) during a period of constrained public finances, which may signal budget pressures affecting other government spending priorities or payment schedules. Companies in travel services, hospitality, or aviation sectors serving the Libya-Saudi Arabia route may see minor indirect demand effects, though Hajj logistics are typically managed through state channels.
