Libya plans to set up a free-trade zone in Benghazi as it seeks to shift its economy away from dependence on oil, government officials said.
The revived plan for Benghazi, the second-biggest city, could help create more than 40,000 jobs and restore its status as a trade hub, Rajab Khalil, undersecretary at the Economy Ministry, said in a televised press conference late yesterday.
