Background

In late 2001, Zulaytini took over from Ahmad Abdel Karim Ahmad as acting chairman of the governing council for state-owned National Oil Company (NOC), becoming the top man in the petroleum sector in Libya. Ahmad had been chairman since 1 October 2000 and was relatively a new figure promoted by someone close to Gaddafi. He had taken over from Abdallah Salem el-Badri. Zulaytini was appointed NOC chairman in January 2002, with specific directions to work on attracting foreign investment into Libya.[3]

On 23 February 2007, the Libyan General People's Congress passed a resolution appointing a new cabinet led by Baghdadi Mahmudi, the current prime minister and a new deputy, al-Zulaytini.[4]

Other activities

Al-Zulaytini was also deputy chairman for the Libyan Investment Corporation (LIC), which was established in early 2007 as a holding company with a mandate to manage and restructure state enterprises, such as the Fund for Africa and the Economic and Social Development Fund. Board members include Planning Secretary Taher Al-Jehaimi, Secretary of Finance Muhammad al-Huwayj, and Farhat Bengdara, who is governor of the Central Bank of Libya. LIC's President and CEO is Muhammad Layas who previously chaired the Libyan Arab Foreign Bank (LAFB).[5] He was Secretary of Finance from 2009 to 2011.

Zulaytini was also the chairman of Al Masraf, a commercial bank in the United Arab Emirates.[6]
