Using an econometric model, we investigated the determining factors of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Libya from 1970 to 2005. During the period 1970-1996, Libya did not allow direct foreign Investment except on limited forms mainly in oil strategic industries, the reasons behind that are mostly due to Libya’s political vision towards the private economy and multinational corporations. Since the lifting of the UN sanctions in 1999, Libya is at a turning point, both politically as well as economically. Numerous impediments of the economic cooperation have been removed; hence there is a scope for a growing developmental dynamics. Law No 5 of 1997 offered tax concessions to investors for the first five years; an exemption on customs duty on imports of materials to be used in the project; provisions to allow foreigners to buy re؛d estate for their project. FDI inward flows into Libya stood at $700 million in 2003, after maintaining a negative value for the past several years. An empirical model using some macro- economic variables was utilized to obtain a general characterization of FDI in the Libyan economy.
