Liberia Nears US$1B Revenue Mark
The Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA) has launched its 2025–2029 Corporate Strategic Plan; a five-year roadmap to strengthen domestic resource mobilization, modernize revenue administration, improve taxpayer services, and advance the fiscal sustainability.
LRA Commissioner General, Dorbor Jallah highlighted the Authority’s recent revenue performance.
Jalllah noted that domestic revenue increased from US$699 million in 2024, to US$848 million in 2025, exceeding the 2025 target of US$804.6 million by US$44 million. As of August 18, 2026, LRA had collected US$904.7 million, putting the country within reach of collecting US$1 billion in domestic revenue for the first time.
Jallah said, reaching the billion-dollar mark should not be viewed as an end in itself, but as a means of expanding the capacity to finance critical national priorities, including schools, healthcare facilities, roads, and other essential public services.
Minister of Finance and Development Planning, Augustine Kpehe Ngafuan, who launched the Plan, welcomed the initiative, and emphasized it effective implementation, coordination, and collective commitment to strengthen domestic resource mobilization.
The Plan focuses on five priorities, including fair, and effective revenue administration, voluntary compliance, institutional strengthening, technology and data, and stronger partnerships.
Through the strategy, LRA aims to transition from manual to automated processes, from fragmented information to integrated data, and from traditional to intelligence-led administration, making compliance simpler, and services more efficient, and transparent.
The Plan seeks to strengthen domestic revenue mobilization as a shared national responsibility, and increase the capacity to finance.
