The Central Bank of Liberia reported that Executive Governor Henry F. Saamoi received the African Central Banking Leadership Award, recognizing his role in advancing monetary stability, financial sector development, financial inclusion and institutional reform in Liberia. In remarks tied to engagements in London and Banjul, he also used the platform to argue for stronger African coordination in shaping global financial policy and for reforms that would improve access to international capital and development finance. At the awards event in London, Saamoi linked Liberia's reform agenda to investor confidence, saying Africa's opportunity depends on building credible institutions and investable markets. He pointed to Liberia's ongoing work on macroeconomic stability, financial inclusion, financial sector modernization and investment opportunities in areas including agriculture and agro-processing, energy and infrastructure, financial services and fintech, small and medium-sized enterprises, and tourism. At the IMF/World Bank African Consultative Group meeting in Banjul, he called for deeper coordination among African borrowing countries, greater African representation in global financial decision-making, wider access to concessional financing and stronger climate-responsive financing mechanisms. He also emphasized technical cooperation among African central banks, finance ministries and debt management institutions to strengthen policy implementation, debt management and institutional capacity.
