Libya has restarted oil production after a month-long shutdown caused by a political dispute over the leadership of the Central Bank.
The resumption of operations at two major oil fields is expected to return hundreds of thousands of barrels per day to the global market, alleviating concerns about supply disruptions. The shutdown had significantly impacted Libya's economy and global oil prices.
The resolution of the political standoff marks a temporary stabilization in the country’s oil sector, though underlying tensions remain.
