The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the Government of National Unity refuted claims of impending bankruptcy, criticizing The Independent newspaper for bias towards one political faction in Libya.

In a statement Monday, the ministry highlighted inaccuracies in the The Independent report, noting the absence of official statements and reliance on unverified analyses.

It emphasized Libya's strong economic position and projected growth of 8% for 2024, citing international reports from institutions like the IMF.

The ministry also questioned the impartiality of The Independent, accusing it of political bias.

It indicated that the newspaper's association with a prominent media organization and the author's ties to a political party-affiliated channel suggested a partisan agenda, rendering the content of the article as unsubstantiated political accusations.
