The Misrata Free Zone is the main gateway for goods entering Libya. It has remained unaffected by political conflicts and has maintained the flow of incoming goods, which are then distributed across Libya, accounting for approximately 70% of the goods entering the country.
Summary of the Proposal:
The Misrata Free Zone is the first economic free zone established on Libyan soil, exempt from all tax, customs, trade, monetary, and other restrictions. It aims to optimize local resources and capabilities for transit trade, leveraging its strategic geographic location and its maritime port.
The movement of ships through this zone represents nearly 70% of the total shipping activity in Libya, which will be the focus of the report, especially considering the fluctuating economic conditions and changes in exchange rates.
When and Why the Filming Will Take Place:
The filming will begin after assignment.
