The Liberian Senate has constituted an independent Economic Review and Advisory Panel to research Liberia’s economic conditions and make recommendations for that body’s consideration. Recommendations from the panel, according to Senate Pro-Tempore Armah Jallah, who addressed legislative reporters on Friday, will be used to improve the nation’s economic situation and the harsh economic conditions being experienced by the people. The panel, which comprises highly acclaimed and professional Liberians, is headed by veteran economist and former Minister of Planning and Finance, Dr. Byron Tarr. “The senate notes efforts by the Executive branch of government to respond to these concerns. However, the senate believes there must be multidimensional considerations to limit the impact of the economic crisis,” he said.
