Private Enterprise Investment Opportunities In Liberia

Economic And Socio-Politica Demographics

Liberia is richly endowed with mineral resources, forests, and a climate favorable to agriculture. The country has been a producer and exporter of basic products, primary raw timber and rubber. Local manufacturing, mainly foreign owned is expanding in scope. Additionally, Liberia posseses these specific economic and socio-political demographics.

The Government of Liberia is rebuilding infrastructures, improving education and healthcare, developing capacities and expanding the economy through the growth of small and mid-size businesses. Additionally, business is thriving in Liberia and the fundamentals of our economy are strong.

Liberia is showing signs of strong economic performance and has provided sound business prospects for potential investors. Financing to stimulate private sector growth is a critical component of any economic growth strategy. Multilateral and bilateral financing organizations are rising to these challenges, providing fundamental guidance and sources of capital for private sector investment.

Fourteen years of civil war brought destruction to Liberia's infrastructure, as well as displacement to thousands of families, leaving many children without parents, siblings, close relatives or hope for the future. As Liberia emerges from those dark days, and prepare to be a vibrant society once again, her youth find themselves being left behind, with nothing to occupy the time during school break for the entire summer and little or no opportunity to develop practical skills to enter the workforce. read more

Liberia, A Country In Transition

Currently moving forward from a time of transition, Liberia has for the past four years, together with international partners, worked to ensure a peaceful society and to revive its once thriving economy, but the long path of reconstruction remains a severe challenge. The Comprehensive Peace Agreement signed in Accra, Ghana, in 2003 still holds strong with the support of a 15,000 strong UN peacekeeping mission. The National Transition Government of Liberia (NTGL) was succeeded by peaceful legislative and presidential elections in October 2005, with Ellen Johnson Sirleaf becoming Liberia’s-and Africa’s-first democratically elected female head of state

2008 Investment Climate Statement - Liberia

There is growing investor interest in Liberia, particularly in agriculture, construction, the extractive industries and tourism. UN sanctions on timber exports were lifted in 2006 and on diamonds in early 2007 as Liberia became compliant with the Kimberly Process. The removal of sanctions opens the way to renewed investment activity in those sectors.read more
