Service type: Market Research
Overview
A major international construction group exploring entry into the Libyan market commissioned a comprehensive strategic assessment of the economic environment, infrastructure investment pipeline, and the operational risk profile of working across Libya's divided political geography.
The Challenge
Libya represents a significant infrastructure opportunity, but the market's complexity is often underestimated by firms approaching it for the first time.
The political division between Tripoli-aligned western institutions and the eastern administration creates distinct procurement environments, regulatory frameworks and risk exposures.
The client needed a clear-eyed assessment of where opportunities existed, what the realistic operational requirements were and how the risk profile compared between regions.
What We Did
Libya Desk delivered a structured strategic report organised around four areas.
First, an economic overview covering Libya's fiscal position, the role of oil revenues in public expenditure and the drivers of infrastructure spending across key sectors including housing, roads, water and energy infrastructure.
Second, a pipeline assessment identifying active and anticipated public procurement processes relevant to the client's capabilities, including the institutional actors responsible for commissioning and awarding contracts.
Third, a partner and procurement landscape analysis covering local content requirements, the role of intermediaries, and the characteristics of credible local partners in each region.
Fourth, a comparative risk matrix assessing the operational, security, regulatory, and reputational risk profile of working in western versus eastern Libya, with scenario analysis for key risk factors.
Outcome
The report was delivered within the agreed timeframe and supported the client's internal decision-making process on Libya market entry.
