IMF assessment team arrive

    ABIDJAN
    A five-member International Monetary Fund (IMF) delegation has arrived in Liberia to continue the preparation of an economic development programme, Reuters quoted Kiss Radio as saying on Wednesday. The pro-Charles Taylor station said that the team was in the country to help the government in its economic reform and national reconstruction programme. Private investors have been returning to Monrovia in recent months, Reuters reported, and an international multi-donor mission completed an assessment of Liberia's reconstruction needs in November. Its findings will inform donors on how best to deliver on pledges made at a conference in Paris in 1998 in which 11 countries agreed to provide Liberia with some US $220 million in a two-year national reconstruction programme
