In 2025, Libyan public revenues reached 18.256 billion Libyan dinars, while total expenditures amounted to 8.4 billion LYD (approximately $1.713 billion).
This fiscal configuration, marked by a heavy dependence on oil revenues and an unbalanced distribution of expenditures, reflects the persistent structural challenges in Libyan public finance management.
According to the institution’s statement, oil sales generated 14 billion LYD (approximately $2.856 billion), while oil royalties brought in 3.7 billion LYD (approximately $754 million).
Tax revenues totaled 41.1 million LYD (approximately $8.38 million), customs revenues 12.5 million LYD (approximately $2.55 million), and telecommunications revenues 26.2 million LYD (approximately $5.34 million). No revenue from the sale of fuel on the local market was recorded.
In addition, miscellaneous revenues of 248 million LYD (approximately $50.67 million) were collected, notably in exchange for public services.
On the expenditure side, salaries paid under the first budget item reached 5.9 billion LYD (approximately $1.20 billion), excluding February salaries.
