 The
Liberia Economic Review (LER) (2001-2002)
The Liberia Economic Review (LER) (2001-2002) is intended to contribute
to upstream policy dialogue in the area of Economic Policy Management.
Through regular publication of these Reviews, which analyzed performance
of the various sectors of the Liberian economy, opportunity is provided
to policy makers and the government to obtain an independent review
of national economic performance. This would enable policy makers
to rethink their policies, and redesign and/or adopt alternative policies.
