The Central Bank of Liberia-led National Non-Performing Loans Resolution Conference agreed priorities for tackling elevated nonperforming loans through coordinated action across government, the judiciary, financial institutions, borrowers and other stakeholders. Participants identified persistent problem loans as a constraint on credit access and intermediation that raises borrowing costs, discourages investment and weakens financial sector resilience. The agreed priorities include strengthening credit discipline and legal certainty, modernizing financial infrastructure, improving debt recovery mechanisms and supporting the rehabilitation of viable businesses. The conference, held in Monrovia from September 9-11, brought together public authorities, the financial sector, development partners and private-sector representatives.
