Do you cover Libyan politics or social issues?
Only if they relate specifically to the economy and the business environment.
What do 'ARCHIVE' news articles mean?
These refer to articles that we published in our previous news briefings between 2009 and February 2011.
What information is included in the company directory?
We add as much information as possible for each company, and in each case we check the details with the company. The vast majority of company profiles include an address, phone and fax numbers, website, an outline of products and services, the names of companies represented in Libya, and the name of a General Manager or equivalent. The profiles of some larger Libyan companies may include financial statements or details on assets, number of employees, oilfields under management, parent companies, and a brief background.
Many local and foreign companies have not yet resumed full operations in Libya following the 2011 conflict, meaning that details are subject to change. Similarly, the future of many government companies, bodies and funds remains unclear.
Our Libya company directory is continually being expanded and updated. If you would like to make your company profile available to our subscribers, then please fill in this form.
Is your editorial content influenced by advertising?
No, our business model is subscription-based and we provide unbiased content to our readers. We may feature advertising on our website or in our newsletter, but this does not influence our editorial content.
