NEWS FLASHERS

29.11.2011 ArabsToday reported that the Central Bank of Libya will release a new series of 1 , 5 and 10 Dinar banknotes in early 2012. The Governor of Central Bank of Libya Al-Sedik Omar Al-Kabir said the old currency will be exchanged 1 for 1 with the new.

This was apparently required, along with a restructuring of the Central Bank to eliminate embezzlement and fraud that occurred with the previous regime.
