Monrovia - Touring businesses in Nimba and Bong Counties, Minister of Commerce and Industry, Axel Addy, said he’s on a mission to enhance trade for Liberian owned businesses, saying his visit is meant to understand the prospects and challenges in the two counties. Despite the harsh reality of high tariffs being imposed by the government, many Liberian owned businesses are defying the odds to keep afloat. But Addy said having adequate access to foreign exchange was cardinal for the growth of Liberian businesses, adding the government will continue to work with Liberian businesses to ensure their growth. The Commerce Minister said with the constant supply of electricity and paved road from Monrovia to Ganta, many businesses can thrive. Minister Addy said he was pleased with the level of trade existing between the two countries.
