On the sidelines of the Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group held in Washington, D.C., H.E. Mr. Naji Mohammed Issa, Governor of the Central Bank of Libya, and his accompanying delegation met on Friday, April 17, 2026, with Mr. Clive Vacher, Chief Executive Officer of De La Rue, in the presence of Mr. Damian Kwiatowski, Executive Vice President for International Sales to Central Banks.

The meeting focused on the Governor’s follow-up on the implementation of the Central Bank of Libya’s currency printing plan, particularly for the new denominations (5, 10, and 20 Libyan dinars).
