Press Release:
Libya to Spend $40 Billion on Infrastructure, Housing Projects; Invites U.S. and International Companies to Partner With Libyan Firms
 The ambitious program, announced at a specialized exhibition and conference in Tripoli last week, will allocate approximately $13 Billion to housing, $10.5 Billion to infrastructure, and $4 Billion to local regions, promising to transform the country and giving a welcome face-lift to long-standing public eye-sores like potted streets and unkempt facades, according to Ryad Sunusi, a prominent U.S. educated businessman and consultant and President & CEO of the privately-held Phoenicia Group, which has substantial interests in the construction, engineering, and oil services sector in Libya."Libya, clearly, is going to be a construction hotspot for the next few years, as the Libyan government has wisely given the infrastructure sector national priority and a significant budget," he pointed out. Libya, flush with confidence and awash with petro-dollars amid intense interest from oil and gas companies, as witnessed by oil majors flocking to bid for unexplored blocks in the latest round this month, has signed dozens of billion dollar contracts in recent years and is set to continue the trend in the foreseeable future, in what pundits are calling a "Libyan Renaissance." "All public buildings and infrastructure will be renovated and large-scale civil projects like housing projects, tourism infrastructure, rail, roads, and airports built; this is an exciting time for the construction sector in Libya and we welcome U.S. and international companies for partnerships in the sector," Mr. Sunusi said. Foreign engineering and construction companies wishing to do business in Libya must do so through joint ventures with a Libyan partner according to GPC Decision 443/2006, which was passed last month by the General People's Committee, Libya's executive decision-making body. Mr. Sunusi revealed that the Phoenicia Group is in talks with several U.S., European, and Asian engineering and construction companies on joint ventures to tap the market. "We continue to seek dialogue with international partners in joint partnerships and alliances in Libya, and laud the forward-looking policies of the Libyan government in focusing on training and development programs to sustain a new corps of Libyan business leaders, which has proven invaluable to the Libyan private sector," he stated. The Phoenicia Group, a widely touted poster child of Libyan private sector achievement, has, since its inception in 1999, experienced rapid expansion in the oil & gas, construction, tourism, telecommunications, health, services, and agribusiness sectors, making it the leading Libyan private company and consultancy group; and sponsoring the spin-off of the Libyan-American Business Council in 2004 to promote U.S.-Libyan trade and business exchange.
