A 10-month civil war sparked by the Arab Spring in February saw Libyan dictator Muammar Qadhafi?s regime toppled and the leader himself later killed in October. The National Transitional Council (NTC) is currently in power, and acting Prime Minister Abdurrahim el- Keib has appointed a transitional cabinet to lead the country to elections which are planned for August 2012.Priorities beforehand will include uniting the various militia factions, securing stability and ending violence, restoring access to basic utilities and resuming oil exports in order to secure much-needed revenues. In amongst this agenda is the issue of reconstruction, which is estimated to cost between US$200bn and US$480bn over ten years. This is creating huge potential opportunities for construction companies, many of whom are competing to get a head start and curry favour with the new Libyan leaders.Reconstruction priorities will include public and social infrastructure that provide crucial services, such as healthcare, education, electricity and water supply. Repairing transport infrastructure will also be crucial to getting the economy back on track, especially those which serve oil exports. Over the long-term, an overhaul of Libya?s infrastructure sector will be required. The country?s infrastructure was already in a bad state prior to the civil war, following years of underinvestment and international sanctions. Work to rehabilitate existing infrastructure and expand its scope is therefore necessary. However, currently the government has no structure in place through which to procure projects; therefore, institutions and regulations will need to be established. This is a longer term vision and will only come to fruition following elections and some semblance political stability.Despite the longer term nature of reconstruction in Libya, companies have been eager to court the NTC in order to secure new contracts and protect existing projects halted onFri, 10 Feb 2012 12:38:00 GMTBusiness Monitor International Limited pdf_100212124456Subscriptionhttp://www.zawya.com/story.cfm/sidZAWYA20120209035217/Global_mutual_fund_assets_put_at_259_trillionShashank Srivastava, acting CEO of the Qatar Financial Centre Authority, said, "The QFCA is delighted to be a sponsor once again of this latest GCC Mutual Fund Industry Survey.Thu, 09 Feb 2012 07:03:08 GMTArab News ZAWYA20120209035217Openhttp://www.zawya.com/story.cfm/sidGN_08022012_090208/MENA_advertising_to_grow_34_on_social_networks_in_five_years Advertising is expected to grow 34 per cent on social networks in the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region in the coming years, experts at the Digital Media Forum have said.Thu, 09 Feb 2012 06:14:30 GMTGulf News GN_08022012_090208Openhttp://www.zawya.com/story.cfm/sidZAWYA20120208032245/Middle_East_firms_focus_on_market_competitiveness_of_staff_packagesTalent management and organizational effectiveness are high on the agenda this year for Middle Eastern companies, according to Hay Group's Business Outlook study for 2012.
