The economy of Libya depends primarily on revenues from the petroleum sector, which represents over 95% of export earnings and 60% of GDP.^[13] These oil revenues and a small population have given Libya one of the highest nominal per capita GDP in Africa.^[14]^[13]

After 2000, Libya recorded favorable growth rates with an estimated 10.6% growth of GDP in 2010. This development was interrupted by the Libyan Civil War, which resulted in contraction of the economy by 62.1% in 2011. After the war, the economy rebounded by 104.5% in 2012. It crashed again following the Second Libyan Civil War.^[15] As of 2017, Libya's per capita PPP GDP stands at 60% of its pre-war level.^[15]
