The International Monetary Fund has published a country report on Liberia covering the third review of the country’s 40-month Extended Credit Facility and a request for an arrangement under the Resilience and Sustainability Facility. The report says the current program is helping Liberia regain fiscal credibility, restore debt sustainability and enhance financial sector stability, while targeted reforms are supporting efforts to mobilize additional domestic and external resources to address a large infrastructure gap. The publication also highlights Liberia’s high exposure to climate-related and pandemic risks. Recent climate shocks have caused significant loss of life and property, displacement, destruction of agricultural crops and worsening food security, while a fragile and underfunded health sector with limited coverage has increased vulnerability to pandemics. These pressures, together with a decline in support from external donors, continue to constrain Liberia’s development prospects.
