Libya has a population of 6.9 million and it is expected to grow to 7.6 million by 2030 as per ABiQ’s forecasting tool. A ceasefire agreement was signed by warring parties in the last few weeks. After an almost decade long civil war, most of the transport infrastructure will have to be rebuilt.
Transport projects forecast for Libya
According to ABiQ, the Business Intelligence platform, Libya has more than $1.5 billion of active transport infrastructure projects with more to follow once a much-awaited peace accord has been signed.
