TRIPOLI- Libya’s oil and gas revenue in 2019 fell to 31.4 billion Libyan dinars ($22.49 billion) from 33.5 billion a year earlier, the central bank said in statement on Tuesday.

Libya is divided between rival governments in Tripoli and the east, where there is a parallel central bank, making accurate national data hard to obtain.

However, the central bank in Tripoli has retained control over oil revenue, which is routed through National Oil Corporation and accounts for the vast majority of Libya's income.
