Economic forecasts - General economic indicators - Investments - Foreign trade
L'économie de la Libye repose presque entièrement sur la bonne santé du secteur pétrolier qui constitue son principal poste d'exportation (plus de 95% de ses exportations totales). Grâce à cette ressource, la Libye dispose d'un des niveaux de vie les plus élevés en Afrique du Nord. La flambée des cours du pétrole devrait lui permettre de conserver un fort excédent commercial malgré une hausse des importations en 2004. L'excédent devrait permettre à la Libye d'entreprendre les réformes économiques qu'elle souhaite mener, à savoir une libéralisation de plusieurs secteurs d'activité en attirant davantage d'IDE (Investissement Direct à l'Etranger) et une privatisation du secteur public (qui emploie encore aujourd'hui plus de 700 000 personnes).
