Last update: 5 hours ago

Maritime Security: A seafarer was killed after a Liberia-flagged tanker was hit near Oman in the latest Strait of Hormuz attack, as Iran also claims it detained a UAE-owned vessel over transit rules—risks remain high for shipping and trade. Port & Trade Accountability: Liberia’s National Port Authority MD Sekou Dukuly faces renewed scrutiny after an NPR/MPR investigation tied his Minnesota group-home businesses to millions in taxpayer funds and repeated regulator actions, raising questions for a key trade-revenue official. Revenue & Industry Finance: Liberia is set to cross US$1 billion in domestic revenue for the first time, with the Liberia Revenue Authority reporting collections of US$901m as of Aug 14. Digital Governance: The Liberia Telecommunications Authority advanced plans for redelegating the .lr country-code domain, aiming to strengthen national control and security of Liberia’s digital identity. Food Safety & Compliance: The Food Authority of Liberia launched its 2026–2030 strategic plan with EU support to improve food safety systems. Aviation Safety: LCAA began a 10-day Safety Management Systems training with EU backing to shift Liberia’s aviation safety culture from reactive to predictive. Heritage & Tourism Development: President Boakai broke ground for Providence Island, positioning the historic site for tourism and heritage investment under the ARREST agenda. Mining Oversight: Gbarpolu tightened entry checks for mining operators, requiring valid licenses and monitoring mine-site closures to curb illicit activity. Sports Funding: The National Sports Fund Authority Act was signed into law, creating a dedicated funding mechanism for sports development. Agriculture & Forests: “Cocoa fever” in Grand Gedeh is driving forest loss as cacao expands into native forests. Microfinance Growth: DMDI opened a new Monrovia head office as it pushes expansion and technology upgrades.
