Frequently asked questions
Who issues the Liberian Dollar?+
The Liberian Dollar (LRD) is issued by Central Bank of Liberia. As the monetary authority for Liberia, it sets policy interest rates, manages foreign reserves, and controls the money supply.
What is the inflation rate of the Liberian Dollar?+
Latest available consumer price inflation for the Liberian Dollar: 8.21% YoY (2024). Source: World Bank annual series (FP.CPI.TOTL.ZG). Daily-refreshed historical chart on this page.
Has the Liberian Dollar been debased?+
Every fiat currency loses purchasing power over time as central banks expand the money supply. M2 has grown by approximately 90% over the past decade. Combined with cumulative inflation, this is the gap between LRD as accounting unit and LRD as a store of value.
Is the Liberian Dollar sound money?+
On the Money2069 0–100 sound-money scale, the Liberian Dollar currently scores 64.8. The score weights inflation volatility, 10-year money-supply growth, and 1-year FX stability. Higher = closer to sound. No fiat scores 100 because no fiat has zero issuance.
