Liberia’s Senate and House of Representatives have simultaneously commenced hearings on the country’s proposed 2026 national budget. The $1.2 billion proposal—now the largest in Liberia’s history—has become a major focal point for lawmakers and the public.
The budget hearings will scrutinize spending priorities, economic assumptions, and the government’s plans for managing the nation’s finances in the coming year. Key ministries, agencies, and institutions are expected to justify their allocations before the two chambers.
At the House of Representatives, the process also serves as a platform for revenue-generating entities to outline strategies for boosting domestic resources. Officials are expected to present new ideas to expand the country’s revenue base and prevent future budget shortfalls.
As deliberations continue, the outcome of the hearings will shape Liberia’s fiscal direction for 2026, with citizens watching closely to see how the record-breaking budget will support national development and economic stability.
