James T. BrooksMONROVIA, Liberia — In a landmark move toward regional economic unity, Liberia recently hosted a high-level joint meeting of the West African Monetary Agency (WAMA) and the ECOWAS Commission. This gathering represents a critical milestone in the ambitious drive to launch a single regional currency—the “Eco”—by the year 2027. Fiscal discipline is also improving across the board, as deficits narrow and public debt ratios decline among member states. Most notably, four member states are expected to meet all primary convergence criteria in 2025, which effectively doubles the progress seen in the previous year. Governor Saamoi turned the spotlight on Liberia’s domestic achievements, presenting a picture of a nation that is actively meeting regional standards.
