Monrovia - Liberia’s economy is poor and its infrastructure development is struggling due to huge infrastructure deficit, according to the Executive Director of the National Investment Commission, George Wisner. He said this situation is impeding infrastructure growth and the need to ensure quality new investment is essential. He said government is currently spending up to US$100 Million on public investment infrastructures which he said is not enough to reach the minimum standard of infrastructure growth within the nearest possible time. “Whether it is road or port infrastructure, sea and airport, whether it is telecommunications infrastructure, electricity or water, you have to have them in place,” Wisner said. “The UK is one of the first countries that used the Public Private Partnership to improve its investment and there were lessons learnt along the way,” Ambassador Belgrove said.
