Liberia: Liberia's Biggest Budget Rests On a Revenue Record That Won't Repeat
[Liberian Investigator] MONROVIA -- President Joseph Nyuma Boakai sent the Legislature a US$1.538 billion budget on Friday, the largest Liberia has ever proposed. It builds on a revenue year that crossed US$1 billion for the first time, but the one-time payment that accounted for about a fifth of that record will not recur. Much of the new spending the government wants to add is recurring.
