LIBERIA - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Liberia is a low income country heavily reliant on foreign
assistance for revenue. Civil war and government mismanagement destroyed much
of Liberia's economy, especially the infrastructure in and around the capital,
Monrovia. Many businesses fled the country, taking capital and expertise with
them, but with the conclusion of fighting and the installation of a
democratically-elected government in 2006, several have returned. Liberia has
the distinction of having the highest ratio of direct foreign investment to GDP
in the world. Richly endowed with water, mineral resources, forests, and a
climate favorable to agriculture, Liberia had been a producer and exporter of
basic products, primarily raw timber and rubber and is reviving those sectors.
Local manufacturing, mainly foreign owned, had been small in scope. President
JOHNSON SIRLEAF, a Harvard-trained banker and administrator, has taken steps to
reduce corruption, build support from international donors, and encourage
private investment. Embargos on timber and diamond exports have been lifted,
opening new sources of revenue for the government and Liberia shipped its first
major timber exports to Europe in 2010. The country reached its Heavily
Indebted Poor Countries initiative completion point in 2010 and nearly $5
billion of international debt was permanently eliminated. This new status will
enable Liberia to establish a sovereign credit rating and issue bonds.
Liberia's Paris Club creditors agreed to cancel Liberia's debt as well. The IMF
has completed the sixth review of Liberia's extended credit facility, bringing
total disbursements to over $379 million. The African Development Bank approved
a grant of $48 million in 2011 to support economic governance and
competitiveness. Rebuilding infrastructure and raising incomes will depend on
generous financial and technical assistance from donor countries and foreign
investment in key sectors, such as infrastructure and power generation. The
country has achieved high growth during 2010-12 due to favorable world prices
for its commodities.
