Libya is increasingly drawing the attention of international business and the recent suspension of United Nations Sanctions has led to the restoration of traditional ties with many foreign governments and multinationals.

Libya has one of the highest GDP per capita incomes in the developing world and the country has vast potential. Although Libya’s economic mainstay is still the oil and gas industry, the government increasingly pursues economic diversification. With an educated population and abundant natural resources, there are significant opportunities for rapid growth in the years to come.

This second edition of Doing Business with Libya is a comprehensive and authoritative guide to the latest developments in all aspects of doing business in Libya.

Topics covered include:

• background to the market;
• the legal structure and business regulation;
• finance, accountancy and taxation;
• key industry sectors.
