As part of the Institute of Banking and Financial Training and Studies’ ongoing efforts to develop the banking training system, a workshop entitled “From Need to Impact: Building an Effective Training Plan for the Banking Sector” was held on Thursday, 18 December 2025, in Tripoli.

The workshop brought together staff of the Institute of Banking and Financial Training and Studies, led by Mr. Ahmed Othman, Director General of the Institute, with distinguished participation from the Egyptian Banking Institute. It was also attended by Mr. Ayoub Kraima, Chief of Financial Inclusion Component  at Expertise France in Libya, in addition to representatives from a number of banks, and a select group of local and international experts.

The workshop focused on discussing a set of key themes aimed at reaching an enhanced and revised version of the 2026 training plan, in preparation for its adoption.
