According to the executive, US$ 100 million have been paid to Qatar and US$ 200 million to Turkey. The information was released by the African news agency <em>Panapress<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The debts concern loans made while Libya was exiting the crisis, when the country was governed by a Transitional Council. Al-Akari said the loan from Qatar was repaid interest-free. It was granted by the Qatar International Bank. The debt with Turkey was repaid with interest, according to the director. <\/p>\n<p>Since the Arab Spring, which led to the downfall of dictator Muammar Gaddafi and a change of government, Libya has received aid from several countries, in cash and cooperation. The country is also receiving political advisory from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).<\/p>\n<p>Presently, protests are still taking place in Libya, especially from workers; this has detracted from the country&rsquo;s oil production and therefore its economic recovery. An IMF communiqu&eacute; in November stated that conflicts in Syria raise concerns of contagion to the region, especially to countries which are in the process of stabilizing themselves, such as Libya, Egypt and Tunisia.<\/p>\n<p>The Libyan economy is structured around oil. The commodity accounts for 95% of the country&rsquo;s export revenues and 80% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). As a result, and due to the fact that it has small population &ndash; around 6 million &ndash;, Libya boasts one of the highest per capita GDPs in Africa. <\/p>\n<p><strong>*Translated by Gabriel Pomerancblum<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-185681\">Press Release<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Arab country\u2019s Central Bank announced this week that US$ 100 million have been paid to the Qataris and US$ 200 million to the Turks.
