It has already been speculated that the rebels have created a new central bank which will not be Libya owned like the previous one and will be part of
the global banking system instead. Just thought these websites were interesting.
Current Central Bank of Libya Website is currently under construction here
Central Bank of Libya
However, the original website still up here
Central Bank of Libya
Just wanted everyone to see the website information before it is gone.
A few other changes with Libya recently...
US and European corporations moving back. No one ever taught them what "too soon" means?

Sharia law now being implemented just like the other Arab spring countries...?

Nice! Sharia-compliant banks with interest and fees? Seems like this also confirms reports of the rebels/new government creating a new banking system
in Libya.
Abdul-Jalil’s announced ban on interest, however, does leave room for so-called “Sharia-compliant” banking. Arab Islamic countries have
banned interest on loans since the time of Mohammed. But some fundamentalist Muslim states, such as Saudi Arabia and Iraq, have a hybrid banking
system which they say is Sharia-compliant banking. It allows banks to earn a profit by charging extra fees when a loan is first issued. This system
helps wealthy people and companies earn money from their oil-based wealth without formally charging interest. Without effective banking and an
available pool of capital, Libyan companies will face difficulties when seeking investment funds to restart their economy and rebuild their oil
industry.

Seems like the people of Libya were doing just fine before all of this.
