MONROVIA, LIBERIA-President George has extended gratitude to Liberia’s potential partners, particularly the World Bank, for their immense support towards growth of the Country’s business sector.

President Weah recounted partners’ support, mainly the World Bank’s recent grant of forty- million dollars to improve Liberia’s trade and commerce industry.

The grant, which is being implemented through the Liberia Investment Finance and Trade Project (LIFT), is expected to boost local trade and expand the scope of operation of the financial sector.

President Weah also emphasized that the LIFT project is a fulfillment of Government’s Pro-Poor Agenda that seeks to employ Liberians rather than making them spectators to their economy.

The Liberian Chief Executive said:” I am also grateful to local executives of my Government for pushing the agenda, ensuring my dream is realized.”

President Weah spoke on Tuesday, March 6, 2023 at the launch of the Liberia Investment Finance and Trade (LIFT) Project.
