Strong Business Climate
Liberia has strong underlying fundamentals that create a supportive and competitive environment for investors across all major sectors.
Politically Stable Country
Liberia has been politically stable for over 20 years with three consecutive free and fair elections. The country ranks among the top peaceful nations in Africa according to the Global Peace Index.
Youthful Labour Force
Liberia’s labour force is extremely young—median age 19.4—and highly cost-competitive, with average wages at $5.50/day (formal sector) and $3.50/day (casual labour).
Investor-Friendly Government Policies
Liberia offers strong investor protections, full repatriation of profits, a transparent tax code, and several tax exemptions for key industries such as agriculture, manufacturing, and tourism.
Dual Currency Regime
Liberia operates a dual currency system where the US Dollar circulates freely alongside the Liberian Dollar. This simplifies international trade, reduces FX volatility, and supports investor confidence.
