MONROVIA–Liberia has collected US$761.1 million in domestic revenue, with the government projecting total domestic revenue of approximately US$1.18 billion by the end of December 2026.
Information Minister Jerolinmek Matthew Piah announced the figures during Tuesday’s Ministry of Information press conference as he outlined progress under the Government of Liberia’s ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development.
Minister Piah said the increase in domestic revenue collection represents an important development for the government’s efforts to strengthen the country’s fiscal position and reduce dependence on external financing.
He further disclosed that discussions with Finance authorities indicate that domestic revenue could reach approximately US$1.1 billion by September 2026, ahead of the end-of-year projection.
Minister Piah described the projected achievement as a major accomplishment for Liberia and the government.
The latest figures also show continued improvement in domestic resource mobilization. Recent reporting from Liberia’s Ministry of Finance indicated that domestic revenue increased from approximately US$699 million in 2024 to US$848 million in 2025, with US$761.1 million already collected by June 2026.
The Minister said stronger domestic revenue collection is critical to financing government programs and ensuring that the state has greater capacity to implement national development priorities.
He said the revenue performance was presented as part of the National Steering Committee’s review of the implementation of the ARREST Agenda.
According to Minister Piah, the government will continue working to improve revenue mobilization while ensuring that collected resources are directed toward national priorities.
He said the public will continue to receive updates on the government’s performance as implementation of the national development plan progresses
