In this conversation from the Libya–UK Investment Platform, Naaman Elbouri, Founding Partner of Tadawul Financial Group, delivers a clear message to UK counterparts: Libya’s operating environment has changed and with it, the scale of opportunity.

He stresses that the objective is not to paint a rosy picture, but to give an honest update: stability and safety have improved, private-sector demand is real, and Libyan companies are ready to build practical partnerships with UK industry where capabilities are most needed.

A central theme of the discussion was finance, the backbone of any economy. With the Central Bank of Libya now unified under one Board of Directors, Mr Elbouri encourages British banks and financial institutions to re-engage with the market, reviving relationships that existed prior to 2011 and enabling trade, investment, and growth.

The LBBC welcomed a 60-strong delegation of senior Libyan business leaders to the House of Lords at the Palace of Westminster. The programme was supported by the UK Department for Business and Trade (DBT), the Middle East Association, and Albertson Solicitors.

The day focused on moving from interest to implementation to accelerate UK–Libya commercial ties. Albertson Solicitors delivered a clear, actionable session on “doing business in the UK” for Libyan companies covering establishment options, compliance, and other business considerations.

Networking and one-to-one discussions followed to allow participants to scope partnerships, agreements, contracts and investment pathways.

This platform is designed to de-risk cross-border business: direct access to decision-makers, clarity on rules and routes to market, and a forum to turn conversations into transactions.

The LBBC looks forward to coordinating follow-ups and beginning preparations for the Renewable Energy event in London on November 26/27.

In partnership with Libya’s Privatization and Investment Board (PIB) الهيئة العامة لتشجيع الاستثمار وشؤون الخصخصة بالمنطقة الشرقية, the LBBC hosted the Libya–UK Business Conference in London, a forum designed to connect UK companies with senior decision-makers from Libya’s private sector.

A joint welcome from the Chairman of the LBBC, Peter Millett and Mr. Abdelnaser Najm, Chairman of the Privatization and Investment Board (PIB), outlined the conference objectives: practical routes to market, partnership structures, and pathways for banking and investment to support real projects on the ground.

Short sector briefings followed, covering supply-chain and logistics, digital and e-commerce transformation, and banking solutions to support trade and investment.

These set the scene for a panel and Q&A on doing business in Libya and the UK, addressing market entry, procurement processes, compliance, financing options, and how the LBBC and PIB can support companies at each step.

The afternoon served as a networking session with B2B meetings used to scope potential partnerships, supplier agreements, and service contracts. Along the way, the LBBC and PIB helped identify concrete next steps and supported coordinating follow-ups.

Our thanks to PIB, the Libyan business delegation, and our supporting partners, UK Department for Business & Trade, BExA, the West London Chamber and the Middle East Association for making the event a success.

Unlocking Libya's potential: A guide to doing business successfully with expert support and local partnerships

Through the LBBC’s Libya–UK network, members access the insights and on-the-ground support that make the difference. Our member spotlight shows this advantage in action.

Doing business in Libya presents real potential but also administrative and regulatory hurdles. From navigating tax reporting and compliance to registering a workforce and securing visas, the process can be time-consuming and difficult to manage remotely.

That’s why the LBBC is pleased to spotlight the work of its member, Ahmed Ghattour & Co. (AGC), a trusted Libyan partner to international companies.

AGC provides integrated accounting, tax, and workforce mobility solutions designed to remove the red tape from operating in Libya. Its expertise spans local company and tax registration, filing, compliance, accounting, audits and advisory as well as workforce mobility from visa and work permit processing to full Employer of Record (EOR) services for companies without a local entity.

With decades of experience guiding foreign businesses through Libya’s legal and regulatory frameworks, AGC lives by its motto: “We simplify the complexities of doing business in Libya.”

For UK companies looking to enter or expand in the Libyan market, AGC offers the clarity, compliance, and confidence to succeed.
