The United States Embassy in Monrovia has congratulated the Central Bank of Liberia (CBL) on the successful completion of a competitive and transparent process for selecting vendors to supply a new family of Liberian dollar banknotes and coins. Thanks to its use of international standards and best practices, the CBL is supplying technically sound banknotes and coins at the best possible value. In addition to the current competitive procurement of more than L$40 billion, USAID supported the emergency printing of L$4 billion in L$500 banknotes that arrived in Liberia in July 2020 to help ease the liquidity pressures in the country. The first L$4 billion of new L$100 banknotes arrived safely in December 2021, and the second L$4 billion is scheduled for February 2022. USAID remains a close partner of the CBL and an advocate for continued transparency and competition in all public procurement in Liberia.
