AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Extractives Governance: LEITI boss Jeffrey Yates says Liberia scored 80 points in the latest EITI Validation—“Very Good” overall—with strengths in stakeholder engagement and outcomes, but a transparency gap that needs urgent work before the next review. Electricity Sector: LERC licensed four electrical firms (Best Solar, Extrow Energies, Electric Construction and Control System, Excellent Electric) to improve safety and reduce fire risks, while LIBENERGY has appealed LERC’s tariff cut, warning it could hurt revenue and service delivery. Industrial Expansion: LSEZA sealed a US$32M, 25-year deal with Softcare Liberia to build a Monrovia Free Zone manufacturing hub for hygiene and household consumer products, targeting 150+ direct jobs. Agriculture Investment: The U.S. Embassy reaffirmed support for private-sector investment in Liberia’s value chains—cocoa, coffee, rice, rubber, maize and cassava—after talks with the agriculture minister. Shipping & Security: A Liberia-flagged bulk carrier (Minoan Pioneer) was hit by a projectile near Oman in the Strait of Hormuz; the crew abandoned ship and one seafarer is missing, as regional route talks (“middle corridor”) continue amid heightened tensions. Finance: The Central Bank granted a commercial banking license to First Atlantic Bank Liberia, bringing operating commercial banks to ten.
