Libya
The high oil revenue and the small population give Libya one of
the highest per capita GDPs in Africa. The non-oil manufacturing and
construction sectors, which account for about 20% of GDP, have expanded
from processing mostly agricultural products to include the production
of petrochemicals, iron, steel, and aluminum.
