The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has commended Liberia’s progress in maintaining macroeconomic stability and implementing key economic reforms, projecting strong economic growth and a positive medium-term outlook for the country.
The assessment was contained in a statement issued by IMF Mission Chief for Liberia, Daehaeng Kim, at the conclusion of an IMF staff mission to Monrovia from June 10–23, 2026.
The mission conducted the Fourth Review under Liberia’s Extended Credit Facility (ECF) Arrangement and the First Review under the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF) Arrangement.
According to the IMF, Liberia has made “solid progress in macroeconomic stability,” with program performance against quantitative targets remaining robust.
The Fund projects real GDP growth of 5.5 percent in 2026, supported by continued expansion in mining activities; particularly iron ore production, as well as growth in manufacturing and construction.
The IMF also noted that inflation has remained relatively contained despite rising global fuel prices.
