ForewordFollowing its fi rst democratic elections in over forty years, Libya is at a fulcrum. The country continues to have its challenges; but there is much to be optimistic about. The new political leaders have a pro-growth, pro-competitiveness approach; are keen to restore to the country the sort of balanced economic growth denied them so long; and will have at their disposal considerable revenues from Libya’s rich natural resources. The Economist Intelligence Unit foresees GDP growth in 2012 of some 22%, one of the highest anywhere in the world.

Not least given the UK’s role in the popular revolution which toppled Qadhafi , UK business has a major opportunity to make itself the partner of choice for Libyan counterparts seeking excellent quality and value for money. Albeit in a very different setting, this summer’s Olympics demonstrated the UK’s ability to deliver large and complex construction projects on time and on budget, against the most demanding requirements.

For UK businesses with both prior experience in Libya and new to the market, this is an excellent time to be visiting, to continue to build, or start to establish, the sort of long-term relationships so key to doing business in the country.

The UK delegation participating in this construction mission refl ects the UK’s world class expertise in the infrastructure sector, be it architecture, master planning, high-end engineering, project management and consultancy or innovative and environmentally friendly products. On this visit, we are also going to explore the potential for cooperation between British and Turkish companies, drawing on the unique expertise and experience of both in this market. The mission is a timely means to make the most of the opportunities and I much look forward to accompanying it to Tripoli.
