This book represents a response to a relative lack of academic research into corporate governance and especially corporate governance disclosure in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Specifically, the author explores recent developments in corporate governance disclosure produced by Libyan commercial banks. Along with other corporate governance mechanisms, disclosure plays an essential role in discharging accountability to and protecting shareholders, enhancing corporate performance and reducing the risk of financial crises. In order to improve corporate governance disclosure, it is necessary to understand the context in which it takes place. The MENA countries have unique characteristics, and those involved in the Arab Spring have been affected in different ways. This book provides up to date research into corporate governance disclosure in the context of Libya following the Arab Spring. The banking sector plays a crucial role in the Libyan economy and has specific characteristics which make corporate governance more important than in other sectors, yet research in this sector is rare. Furthermore, the banking sector in Libya has seen significant corporate governance reforms in recent years. As one of the most significant oil producing countries, Libya’s political and business environments have been dramatically affected by the Arab Spring. The author discusses how banks have responded to these reforms and the ways in which their corporate governance disclosure has evolved.

In the aftermath of the revolution of 2011, Libya faces the complex task of rebuilding its economy, infrastructure, and institutions, and responding to the demands of the population, especially for improved governance. The conflict that accompanied the revolution had a severe impact on the economy, and international financial institutions have responded to the request of the Libyan authorities to provide policy consultations and technical assistantce to help maintain macroeconomic stability. Libya's National Transitional Council (NTC) has taken steps to promote a peaceful political transition, normalize economic conditions, and set out a national reform agenda. In the short term, the authorities must restore security, bring hydrocarbon production fully online, exercise fiscal discipline, resuscitate the banking system, and maintain macroeconomic stability. Medium-term efforts should focus on capacity building, infrastructure renewal, private-sector development, improving education, job creation, and putting in place an effective social safety net, within a framework of transparent and accountable governance. This paper discusses the risks to economic recovery and measures to promote economic diversification and employment growth.

The banking system in Libya has been facing various challenges due to the political ‎instability and divided governance in the country. This situation has created unique ‎features for the financial sector in Libya. This study aims to explore the relationship ‎between transformational leadership styles, namely idealized influence, inspirational ‎motivation, intellectual stimulation, individualized consideration with mediating role of ‎organizational commitment and employee performance in the public banks sector in ‎Libya. To achieve these objectives, quantitative research method was utilized by ‎developing questionnaire survey and distributing 411 copies to the employees working ‎for five public banks that have operating branches in Tripoli. The data was analysed ‎using SPSS and Smart PLS. The results showed significant relationship between ‎idealized influences, inspirational motivation, and organizational commitment and ‎employee performance in the Libyan public banks which support what was found in the ‎majority of the previous published literature. But unlike the majority of the published ‎literature, intellectual stimulation and individualized consideration was found to be ‎insignificant with employee performance in the Libyan public banks. in addition, the ‎organizational commitment has a significant relationship with employee performance. ‎Finally, organizational commitment showed a significant mediating effect on the ‎relationship between idealized influence, inspirational motivation, and intellectual ‎stimulation with employee performance. however, organizational commitment showed ‎insignificant mediating effect on the relationship between individualized consideration ‎and employee performance.‎
