Abstract

This study analyses the determinants of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows to Libya (2020–2025) using a descriptive-analytical field approach. A validated questionnaire was administered to a purposive expert sample (n=27, response rate 90%; Cronbach's α=0.944). One-sample t-tests and Pearson correlations were applied. Political and security determinants ranked first (M=4.42, t=18.49, r=0.894), followed by macroeconomic factors (M=4.34), legislative/institutional determinants (M=4.12), and sectoral prospects (M=3.95); all significant at p<0.001. The study recommends prioritising political stability, revising Investment Law No. 9 (2010), unifying the exchange rate, and digitalising investment procedures
