Market Outlook

Libyaโ€™s near-term market outlook is defined by operational resilience overshadowed by mounting financial and governance risks.

Oil production should remain broadly stable in the coming months, but the sectorโ€™s reliance on off-budget financing, the resurgence of the payment-on-behalf system, persistent smuggling, and intensifying political fragmentation threaten investment visibility and fiscal planning.

Volatility in global energy prices, rising domestic consumption, and the erosion of the CBLโ€™s centralised oversight make Libya increasingly exposed to external and internal shocks. Without institutional stabilisation and coherent budget management, operational gains will struggle to translate into durable market confidence.
