Investment

Invest in Liberia

For Canadian businesses assessing Liberia. Organised around the questions that decide whether a project is viable.

This section is for Canadian businesses and investors assessing Liberia. It is organised around the questions that decide whether a project is viable, and it is explicit about which of those questions this Commission can answer and which belong to the National Investment Commission.

Pending verification

This section will state the investment framework: entry requirements, sector eligibility, approval thresholds and the role of the National Investment Commission. It is deliberately empty. Nothing about investment law, tax incentives, licensing, land tenure, tariffs or repatriation of profits may be drafted here until it is confirmed with the National Investment Commission and recorded with a source and a verification date.

One correction, stated plainly

Pending verification

This section will state land tenure for non-citizens. It is deliberately empty. Nothing about investment law, tax incentives, licensing, land tenure, tariffs or repatriation of profits may be drafted here until it is confirmed with the National Investment Commission and recorded with a source and a verification date.

This is the single most important item on the site to get right. The site this replaces told Canadian investors that land ownership was available to foreign investors. Before any wording is drafted here, the position under the 1986 Constitution and the Land Rights Act 2018 must be confirmed in writing with the National Investment Commission, and the confirmation recorded with a date.
