The Libya’s Central Bank (CBL) has resumed its operations after an abducted bank official was released.

The central bank is the only internationally recognised depository for Libyan oil revenues, which provide vital economic income for a country torn for years by conflict between two rival governments in Tripoli and Benghazi.
