Kupanda kwa bei ya mafuta na kupungua kwa misaada ya nje kuleta shinikizo kwa uchumi wa Liberia.
Baada ya kuidhinisha mkopo wa dola milioni 266 kwa Liberia, IMF imepongeza hatua zilizochukuliwa na serikali katika kudhibiti uchumi na kupunguza hatari za deni.
Makamu Mkurugenzi wa IMF, Bo Li, amesema Liberia imeendelea kutekeleza sera nzuri za kiuchumi licha ya changamoto za kimataifa zinazoongezeka, hasa kupanda kwa bei ya mafuta na kupungua kwa misaada ya nchi za nje.
Amesema mageuzi ya matumizi ya serikali yamewezesha ongezeko la uwekezaji katika miradi ya kipaumbele na huduma za kijamii, huku hatua za muda za kupunguza gharama za usafiri zikisaidia wananchi kukabiliana na mfumuko wa bei.
Serikali pia imeongeza bajeti ya sekta za kijamii kupitia marekebisho ya fedha ya nyongeza ili kudumisha usawa wa kifedha.
