Libya: Possible disruptions to Central Bank of Libya operations, Aug. 25
Possible disruptions to Central Bank of Libya operations in Tripoli, Libya, Aug., 25.
Disruptions to the Central Bank of Libya (CBL) operations are possible on Aug. 25. Reports suggest that the CBL branch in Tripoli is closed and that some banking operations are disrupted. The extent of the disruptions is unclear.
Should disruptions persist or worsen, financial transactions could be adversely impacted. Protests in response to the disruptions are also possible, particularly if cash shortages occur. Likely protest locations are CBL offices, banks, government buildings and central squares.
Plan accordingly for localized bank service and associated business disruptions. Heed all official transport and security advisories. Avoid any demonstrations that materialize as a standard security precaution. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Allow additional travel time near gathering sites.
