Speaking to a packed hall of Sierra Leoneans in London, Vice President Dr. Mohamed Juldeh Jalloh says while government interventions have stabilized food prices, the country's deepest economic hurdle is the lack of purchasing power and low household incomes.

The IMF has approved a new $211 million climate financing for Sierra Leone, including the immediate disbursement of $31.7 million under the country’s ECF programme. While praising recent economic reforms, the IMF warned that high debt levels, low foreign exchange reserves, and global uncertainties continue to pose significant risks to the country's economic outlook.

Sierra Leone's Information Minister, Chernoh Bah, publicly dismissed as "absolutely fake" a letter attributed to Dutch MEP Malik Azmani calling on the European Union to consider sanctions against Sierra Leone over the Jos Leijdekkers case. A Fritong Post fact-check found no evidence supporting the minister's claim. The correspondence was publicly shared by Azmani through his verified social media accounts and discussed in an interview with Dutch broadcaster RTL Nieuws. While the policy recommendations contained in the letter remain subject to political debate, the available evidence indicates that the document itself is authentic.
