Libya
Libya Economic Outlook
- GDP contracted by 6.0% in 2015 but in the event of a resolution to conflict and a rapid resumption of oil production, economic growth could recover quickly.
- Prospects for a unity government have improved, although the coastal cities of Sirte and Derna remain controlled by the Islamic State.
- The urban policies adopted in the 1970s have had positive effects on structural transformation, in particular with the impulse of the industrial dynamism of cities like Tobruk, Misrata, Zawya, Al Bayda and Derna.
