Liberia is pursuing economic stability through international financial support and domestic institutional reforms.

In late July 2026, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) reached a staff-level agreement with Liberia, paving the way for a $50 million disbursement. This funding, expected to be finalized by the IMF Executive Board in late September 2026, supports the country’s Extended Credit Facility (ECF) and the new Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF). The IMF noted Liberia’s strong economic performance, including projected GDP growth of 5.5% for 2026 and continued fiscal discipline.

By mid-August 2026, domestic efforts to bolster the economy shifted toward addressing sector-specific challenges. The Central Bank of Liberia issued warnings regarding rising non-performing loans (NPLs) that could threaten credit access and private-sector growth. In response, the bank organized a National Non-Performing Loans Conference to improve loan recovery and credit discipline. Additionally, new initiatives were launched to professionalize the real estate sector through the development of a national Real Estate Finance Certification Program.
