Trade, Investment, Uncategorized Business Opportunities in Libya: Positive Outlook for Foreign Companies
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Experts gave their opinions at a political and economic business briefing on Libya which was hosted by the Middle East Association (MEA) in London this week. The MEA has been at the forefront of UK commercial engagement with the Middle East and North Africa for over 50 years and has sponsored a number of trade missions to Libya.

There are extensive business opportunities in Libya for foreign companies even though the country still faces many challenges including endemic corruption and smuggling which accounts for 40 percent of GDP and is equivalent to the defence budget. This is of great concern to Libya’s neighbours and to Libya itself.

In its introduction to the briefing the MEA noted that Libya is Africa’s second largest oil producer and a major gas producer with a huge potential to develop its economy. In addition to oil and gas there continue to be strong opportunities in education and training, construction, infrastructure, banking, legal services, healthcare and IT. All these areas will continue to play an important role in the rebuilding of a new Libya.

Although the economy contracted by 27.9% in 2011, it is estimated that growth will recover to an average of 13.8% a year in 2012-16. The raising of UN sanctions on Libya’s financial reserves and the recovery of its oil production and exports will enable the Libyan private sector to grow and will provide many business opportunities for UK companies.
