Al-Ghariani Opposes Salary Increase Plan
The Grand Mufti, Sadiq al-Ghariani, rejected the unified salary scale in Libya, emphasizing that raising wages will not solve the economic crisis as long as parallel spending continues and the value of the Libyan dinar declines. This leads to the erosion of its impact due to inflation and rising prices. He affirmed that such an increase would be temporary and that the problem would reemerge within three months unless the causes of rising living costs and financial imbalances are addressed. Al-Ghariani pointed out that continued unchecked spending threatens economic stability. He also blamed the crisis on financial mismanagement and stated that 80 billion dinars are being unlawfully looted through practices linked to the Reconstruction Fund and oil smuggling. He considered that the solution requires a fundamental overhaul of spending policies and stabilization of the currency’s value; otherwise, any increase in wages will be quickly lost to rising inflation.
