IMF Staff Reaches Agreement on Third ECF Review for Liberia
An IMF team reached a staff-level agreement on the third review of Liberia's Extended Credit Facility, confirming 5.1% GDP growth for 2025 and continued reforms.
An International Monetary Fund (IMF) staff team led by Daehaeng Kim visited Monrovia from January 7 to 20, 2026, and reached a staff-level agreement on the third review of Liberia's Extended Credit Facility program. The IMF confirmed that Liberia's economy grew by 5.1% in 2025, up from 4.0% in 2024, driven by strong mining activity and moderate expansion in agriculture and services. Inflation declined to an average of 4.4% in the fourth quarter of 2025 from 12.5% in the first quarter, while the exchange rate remained stable. The ECF arrangement provides about US$210 million over 40 months to support macroeconomic stability and structural reforms.
