Libya: Libya’s Privatisation and Investment Board (PIB) reported that its chair, Abdelaziz Al-Shawish, held a meeting with representatives of Lucky Cement to discuss the possibility of establishing a cement plant in the coastal city of Khoms. The PIB said that this comes as part of its efforts to attract investments and strengthen the industrial sector in Libya. The PIB said that the plant would have a production capacity of 2.5Mt/yr, which would contribute to meeting the local market's cement needs, supporting development and reconstruction programmes, and promoting industrial development in the country.
The two parties discussed the technical and logistical aspects of the project, as well as mechanisms for joint cooperation, in preparation for completing the necessary studies and procedures to move forward with the project's implementation.
