Talk:Economy of Liberia

Merge with Liberian Companies?
Disagree - The structure of the economy itself is separate from the list of individual companies. Chadlupkes 18:00, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Disagree - A better move would be to remove the sections specific to the Liberian economy to that page and then work this article into the article on shell corporations. Happy to do that is felt appropriate. Andrew 09:53, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Plagiarism?
I believe that some of this article is directly copied from the following link: CIA- The World Factbook Many businessmen have fled the country, taking capital and expertise with them. is found in both articles (under the 'economy' section on the cia site).

The latter part of this article is copied from US Department of State ''The Liberian economy relied heavily on the mining of iron ore and on the export of natural rubber prior to the civil war. Liberia was a major exporter of iron ore on the world market. In the 1970s and 1980s, iron mining accounted for more than half of Liberia's export earnings. Following the coup d'etat of 1980, the country's economic growth rate slowed down because of a decline in the demand for iron ore on the world market and political upheavals in Liberia. Liberia's foreign debt amounts to about $3.7 billion.'' has been slightly altered, but almost completely the same.

What should we do about this?

ITC external link on trade data
Hello everyone, I am working for the International Trade Centre (ITC). I would like to propose the addition of an external link that could lead directly to the specific country’s trade data held by ITC. I would like you to consider this link under the WP:ELYES #3 prescriptions. Moreover, the reliability and the pertinence of this link can be supported by the following facts 1) ITC is part of the United Nations 2) No registration is required 3) Trade data (imports/exports) are regularly updated 4) The link gives direct access to the trade database of the specific country 5) The addition of reliable trade data to the Economy section of the country could provide an appropriate contribution to the information therein contained. Thank you for your attention.Divoc (talk) 19:26, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
