Change "Despite having one of the lowest income per capita figures globally, it also suffered from one of the highest illiteracy rates." to "The kingdom suffered from a combination of one of the highest illiteracy rates and the one of the lowest income per capita rates globally."
The two factors do not contradict one another. Marsbat (talk) 18:49, 20 February 2026 (UTC)
Done Fixed this with slightly different wording. Day Creature (talk) 19:14, 20 February 2026 (UTC)
Update 2026 GDP estimate
editPlease update Libya's nominal GDP figure in the infobox using the IMF World Economic Outlook 2026 projection.
Suggested change:
- GDP nominal: US$52.45 billion
- GDP nominal year: 2026
- GDP growth: 6.7%
Source: "World Economic Outlook Database: Libya". International Monetary Fund. Retrieved 7 May 2026.
Rationale: The current GDP figure appears outdated. The IMF World Economic Outlook database is a standard source for country GDP estimates on Wikipedia. Since 2026 is still a projection, the figure should be presented as an estimate/projection rather than a finalized actual figure.
