These figures do not take into consideration the number of Maltese companies and individuals that have had direct investment in Libya. Maltese companies that have Libyan interests listed have been granted special operating licences to continue to operate. This special licence is provided in accordance with the United Nations Security Council resolution that imposes sanctions on Libyan nationals and entities. The Prime Minister has been keen to down play the impact of the Libyan crisis, but several economist have said that the real impact of the conflict will unfold later in the year. And the impact on the Maltese labour market and investments will be seen later in the year. But if the conflict extends into the year, it may have very serious and extensive repercussions.
