Executive Director of the Institute of Governance Reform (IGR), Andrew Lavali has commended the Government of Sierra Leone for debasing the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from $4 billion to $8 billion in the 2025 budget, increasing the per capita income from $492 to $857.
Lavali described the 2025 budget as more realistic and reflective of the country’s economic growth, particularly in the service sector. However, he urged Parliament to carefully address issues such as debt sustainability, EDSA management, and the wage bill.
