Local Content Bill

A Local Content Bill is legislation that encourages or mandates the use of local resources, labor, and companies in a country's industries, especially in sectors like oil, gas, and construction. Its goal is to promote domestic employment, develop local businesses, and ensure that economic benefits stay within the country. The bill sets rules for how much local content should be used and supports local suppliers and workers. This helps boost the national economy, create jobs, and build local capacity, while still allowing foreign investment and expertise.
