Transportation costs are too high. The prices of flour, sugar, and other essential goods continue to be a burden. Building materials are still expensive, making it hard for ordinary Liberians to construct homes and businesses.

This contradiction, where import costs have fallen yet market prices remain high, requires urgent attention, he noted.
