The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Cllr. Deweh E. Gray, on Friday, September 12, 2025, received the Letters of Accreditation of the new United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Country Representative to Liberia, Mr. Mady Biaye, at a brief ceremony held in the conference room of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Welcoming Mr. Biaye to Liberia, Deputy Foreign Minister Gray reaffirmed the Government of Liberia’s commitment to advancing the status of women, promoting their rights, and ensuring their active participation in national decision-making processes. She assured the new UNFPA Country Representative of the Foreign Ministry’s full support in helping him carry out a productive and rewarding tenure in Liberia.

She encouraged Mr. Biaye to continue forging strong partnerships with relevant government ministries and agencies, particularly line ministries, to enhance the impact of UNFPA’s programs in the country.

Drawing from her past experience as President of the Association of Female Lawyers of Liberia (AFELL), she recalled productive collaborations with UNFPA on programs focused on women’s rights, access to justice, and legal reforms. She noted that under President Joseph Nyuma Boakai’s ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development (AAID), government continues to prioritize the fight against violence affecting women and girls.

For his part, the new UNFPA Country Representative, Mr. Mady Biaye, commended the Government of Liberia for the significant progress it has made in promoting women’s empowerment and gender equality. He praised Liberia for passing critical legislations and implementing programs that protect the rights of women and girls across all 15 counties.

Mr. Biaye assured Deputy Minister Gray that UNFPA remains committed to working closely with the Government of Liberia to support its initiatives in tackling issues affecting women, adolescents, and girls. He pledged to build on the strong foundation laid by his predecessor, while identifying new priority areas for support.

The accreditation ceremony concluded with renewed commitments from both the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and UNFPA to deepen collaboration in advancing gender equality, protecting women’s rights, and promoting inclusive national development.

The UNFPA, established by the United Nations General Assembly, is the UN’s lead agency mandated to improve reproductive and maternal health, address population and development issues, and promote the empowerment and protection of women and girls across the world.

CBL Reassures Public: Liberian Dollar Supply Stable, Currency Strength Shows Effective Policy

The Central Bank of Liberia (CBL) has assured the public and financial stakeholders that there is no shortage of Liberian dollars (LRD) in the financial system.

According to the Bank, commercial banks currently have adequate LRD liquidity to meet all payment demands, including government salaries, private transactions, and settlements.

In a statement released Tuesday, September 9, 2025, the CBL addressed recent concerns over reported shortages of the Liberian dollar, calling them inaccurate and misleading.

The CBL noted that as of September 3, 2025, commercial banks held L$1.65 billion in vault cash, with the Central Bank maintaining robust reserves to support the system if needed. Additionally, banks’ excess reserves have nearly doubled to L$2.02 billion compared to the same period last year, signaling strong liquidity in the system.

The CBL clarified that rumors of cash scarcity stem from speculation, hoarding, and misinformation not from actual financial conditions. Liberia’s LRD liquidity remains stable and resilient.

Meanwhile, the Liberian dollar has seen a significant appreciation against the U.S. dollar. On September 8, 2025, the exchange rate stood at L$180.00 to US$1.00 (buying), up from L$201.08 just a week earlier a 10.5% increase in value. A CBL market survey on September 9 confirmed the trend, showing rates of L$182.94 (buying) and L$184.94 (selling) per U.S. dollar.

The currency strength is attributed to several factors which includes:
Tight monetary policy since April 2025, with a 17.25% policy rate, Sterilization of over L$13 billion to stabilize the foreign exchange market, Strong remittance inflows totaling US$425.9 million in the first half of 2025, Expanding economic activity outside Monrovia due to improved road connectivity

Inflation has also dropped significantly from 13.1% in February to 7.4% in July with further declines projected. Structural reforms, such as improved road access, expanded energy supply, and higher agricultural productivity, are helping reduce production and transportation costs.

Other contributing factors to growing confidence include reduced fiscal deficits and the use of the Pan-African Payment and Settlement System (PAPSS) to facilitate regional trade.

CBL Executive Governor Henry F. Saamoi reiterated the Bank’s strong commitment to maintaining financial and monetary stability:

“There is no shortage of Liberian dollars in the financial system. The recent appreciation of the currency reflects sound policy measures, structural improvements, and improving economic fundamentals.”

He urged the public to avoid panic-driven behavior or hoarding, which can cause unnecessary pressure on the market. The Central Bank will continue monitoring the foreign exchange market and providing regular updates.

The CBL reaffirmed its dedication to sustaining macroeconomic stability, ensuring sufficient liquidity, and reinforcing confidence in the Liberian dollar.
