Liberia has passed 11 of 22 indicators in the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) FY2027 scorecard, representing 50 percent, while failing the remaining 11 indicators. The results show a decline from the FY2026 scorecard, when the country passed 12 indicators.

Under Economic Freedom, Liberia passed four indicators, including inflation, international market access, property and land rights, and market competitiveness.

The country also passed two indicators under Investing in People—health expenditures and chronic disease—and five under Ruling Justly, including control of corruption, government accountability, personal freedom, rule of law, and freedom of information.

However, Liberia failed six Economic Freedom indicators, four under Investing in People, and government effectiveness under Ruling Justly.

 Despite the decline, the country maintained the MCC half-scorecard passing requirement, with positive results in control of corruption, government accountability, and personal freedom.

The administration of President Joseph Nyuma Boakai has failed to improve Liberia’s MCC scorecard performance, with the country losing one passing indicator compared to the FY2026 assessment.

The decline raises fresh questions about the administration’s progress in strengthening economic freedom, governance, and human development reforms.
