A post-conflict West African economy with iron ore, a global shipping registry and deep-water port access — stabilising, but institutionally thin.
Liberia has delivered two decades of peace and, in 2024, a peaceful transfer of power between rival parties — a meaningful signal in the region. Its economic base is iron ore, gold, rubber and palm, supported by an unusually significant asset: one of the world's largest open ship registries. Constraints are severe infrastructure gaps, low state capacity and a dollarised economy with limited monetary tools.
Principal exposures are infrastructure failure, institutional capacity, commodity price cyclicality and governance risk around concession award. Political violence risk is comparatively low and improving. Structure deals with ratified concession terms, independent infrastructure access rights, arbitration protection and locally embedded compliance monitoring.
