Libya's net foreign assets continue to grow as the state accrues ever more oil revenue. Data from the Central Bank of Libya show that net foreign assets rose by 5.8% in the ten months to the end of October 2010, having grown by 3.3% in 2009. The slowdown in the growth of assets in 2009 was striking, given the rate of growth over the previous four years, which averaged 39.2%. However, in registering higher growth in 2010, the data show that Libya's investment activity is picking up once more in the wake of the global economic downturn. At LD135.5m (US$107.2m), Libya's net foreign assets are equal to 170% of GDP.
