Country Intelligence Information

 

Country:           Libya

Date:    22/05/2012  00:00:00

Source:            Economist Intelligence Unit

 

Economy:        

Oil production nears pre‑war levels at 1.5m b/dApril 1st 2012 Oil production rose to an average of  1.48m barrels/day (b/d) in the week from April 6th, just short of pre‑conflict levels, according to the latest data from the NOC. The figures also show that the country produced an average of 713.6m cu ft/day of associated gas and 1.5bn cu ft/d of non‑associated gas during the same period. Condensate production averaged 68,500 b/d.

 

Exports of oil by the NOC totalled 90.5m barrels in the first quarter of 2012. Foreign partners exported another 19.4m, taking total average exports for the period to 1.21m b/d. Meanwhile, local consumption accounted for a total of 13.2m barrels or 145,463 b/d. Italy topped the list of the NOC's offtakers, accounting for 34.2% of exports, followed by China at 15.9% and France at 8.3%.

 

Oil production has been rising steadily since the final quarter of 2011, after opposition forces gained control of the entire country and international sanctions were lifted


 

Risk:     April 1st 2012

 

JSovereign risk

Stable. Libya is likely to have run up arrears in 2011, owing to the challenging financial conditions resulting from the conflict. However, renewed access to its foreign reserves and a recovery in oil revenue mean the country's repayment capacity will be fully restored in 2012.

 

Currency risk

Stable. We expect the dinar to remain pegged to the IMF's special drawing rights over the forecast period, preventing currency volatility. Large stocks of foreign‑exchange reserves will provide ample support to the dinar should it come under pressure.

 

Banking sector risk

Stable. Rising oil revenue and the lifting of sanctions on the Central Bank of Libya will enable the bank to increase the supply of foreign exchange to commercial banks. Deposits will recover in line with growth in oil earnings and foreign investment.

 

Political risk

The NTC appointed a new government in November, but security issues, particularly tensions between rival militias, will continue to pose a challenge.

 

Economic structure risk

Libya's high dependency on oil for fiscal revenue, trade and growth underpins the B rating. The country is highly vulnerable to commodity price volatility.
