Libya’s Tripoli based government reported today that its Supreme Committee for the National Framework for Sustainable Economic Diversification, chaired by Minister of Planning Mohamed Al-Zaidani, reviewed the progress of the two national committees tasked with developing strategies for the green and blue economies.
The meeting explored ways to leverage studies conducted by the National Economic and Social Development Board (NESDB) —specifically those concerning spatial development and the identification of the comparative and competitive advantages of Libya’s various regions.
Discussions also focused on utilizing the findings of these studies to direct investments toward promising economic sectors—most notably logistics, transport, and transit trade—while capitalizing on Libya’s geographical location to strengthen connectivity between African and European markets.
Participants emphasized the importance of coordination and integration among relevant institutions to translate the study findings into actionable strategies, programmes, and projects.
The government said such initiatives are intended to diversify the productive base, enhance the competitiveness of the national economy, and foster sustainable development.
