en.Wedoany.com Reported - According to the Financial & Economic Bulletin released by the Central Bank of Liberia, the country's cement output increased by 32.6% quarter-on-quarter in the first quarter of 2026, rising from 0.193 million tonnes in the previous quarter to 0.255 million tonnes.

The production growth was mainly driven by enhanced construction activities during the dry season and the release of new production capacity. Compared to 172,590 tonnes in the first quarter of 2025, cement output grew by 48% year-on-year.

The report noted that after a 2.8% contraction in 2025, Liberia's manufacturing sector is expected to recover to 5.0% growth in 2026, with cement and beverage production likely to be the main drivers of this rebound.

The central bank also emphasized that construction-related industrial activities continued to grow during the reporting period, including increased production of pipes, varnishes, and thinners linked to seasonal construction demand.
