Waivers

From a GoL press release:

The Liberian government has granted a hundred percent waiver on storage charges covering personal effects, humanitarian and medical items currently at the Freeport of Monrovia.

President Johhnson Sirleaf expressed the hope that the decision to waive all storage charges would alleviate the plight of ordinary citizens, returness and institutions.

The Ministry of Finance in consultation with the Office of the President of Liberia recently granted tax waiver on Land, Building, and Rental Income to all Liberian and non-Liberian property owners, dating back to 2005.

In related news, right on schedule, the government has started paying back its domestic debts from prior years. All the papers were full of happy quotes from businesspeople this week.
