Privatization of the banking sector in Libya was limited to Sahara Bank and Wahda Bank – No3 and No4 bank in the country. The head of the largest bank in Libya discusses the outlook for privatization of the banking sector. BNP Paribas assumed 18% of Sahara Bank and Arab Bank, the largest bank in the Arab world assumed 18% of Wahda Bank. The privatization, in Rajab’s opinion, did not go smoothly and the subsequent problems emerged.
