Overview
Libya's lending rate stood at 6.00% in 2014, a rise of +0.00pp from 2013. Libya ranked 37th globally.
Libya’s lending rate has shown modest but persistent decline over the 46‑year span covered by World Bank data, falling from an early‑period level of 7.00 % in 1964 to a trough of 6.00 % in 2014, which also represents the country’s all‑time low. The peak of 7.00 % was recorded in 2003, indicating that the most recent figure is both the lowest level since the series began and the lowest among its peers, ranking 37th globally in 2014. By contrast, Australia posted a slightly lower rate of 5.95 % and San Marino a marginally higher rate of 6.11 % in the same year, situating Libya’s policy rate near the middle of this peer group. The downward trajectory suggests that further reductions could be pursued if macro‑financial conditions remain stable, while any resurgence of inflationary pressures or fiscal strain might halt or reverse the trend.
