In 2021, nearly 306 million people in Libya were living in extreme poverty, with the poverty threshold at 1.90 U.S. dollars a day. The number of poor people in the country fluctuated significantly in the period examined, peaking at over 1.3 million in 2020, probably influenced by the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis. However, poverty in Libya is expected to generally decrease in the coming years. The number of inhabitants living below the extreme poverty line would decline to approximately 41 thousand by 2025.
