Headline: President Joseph Nyuma Boakai Opens National Non-Performing Loans Resolution Conference

President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr. has officially opened the National Non-Performing Loans (NPL) Resolution Conference, calling for practical actions to strengthen Liberia's banking sector and improve access to credit for businesses and citizens. The three-day conference brings together policymakers, financial institutions, regulators, and international partners to address the growing challenge of non-performing loans.

The conference brought together the Central Bank of Liberia, Ministry of Finance and Development Planning, World Bank, and the Liberia Bankers Association to address the country's growing non-performing loan challenge.

In his keynote address, President Boakai said Liberia has produced many reports, research papers, and recommendations over the years, but emphasized that the country now needs implementation rather than more discussion.

“We know the problem. We have brought the right institutions together. Now we must move from discussion to action,” President Boakai declared.

He urged stakeholders to leave the conference with clear commitments, assigned responsibilities, realistic timelines, and effective monitoring mechanisms to ensure reforms are implemented.

High non-performing loans remain one of the most significant structural vulnerabilities in Liberia's banking sector, limiting access to credit for farmers, entrepreneurs, manufacturers, women, and young people.

The President expressed appreciation to the World Bank for its continued technical support and reaffirmed the government's commitment to modernizing Liberia's financial system to promote investment, job creation, and economic growth.
