We do not hold detailed information on receipts and revenue flows from Libya's renewed oil production. What is important is that the resumption of Libya's oil production is sustained to generate the vital revenue needed to enable the Government of National Accord (GNA) to deliver public services and address the needs of the Libyan people: electricity in homes, cash in banks, improving healthcare and infrastructure, for the benefit of all Libyans. Building a safe, secure and prosperous Libya that is able confidently to tackle the challenges in the region is in all our interests.
