Liberia: Central Bank of Liberia Moves to Establish Private Pension Scheme and Insurance Commission

The Central Bank of Liberia (CBL) is taking steps to establish a Private Pension Scheme and an Insurance Commission to enhance the financial sector's stability and growth. This initiative aims to address the lack of a structured pension system in Liberia, where currently, only government employees benefit from a pension scheme. The CBL's plan includes setting up a regulatory framework for private pensions to ensure that private sector workers also have access to retirement benefits. Additionally, the establishment of an Insurance Commission will regulate and supervise insurance activities, aiming to increase consumer protection, promote market development, and ensure the financial soundness of insurance providers. These moves are part of broader financial reforms to foster economic development, increase savings, and provide a safety net for the aging population in Liberia.
