On 29 January 2018, in his first annual message to the national legislature, he reduced his salary and other benefits by 25% with immediate effect. "With the assessment that I gave you earlier of the poor condition of our economy, I believe that it is appropriate that we should all make sacrifices in the interest of our country. According to Article 60 of the [[Constitution of Liberia]], the salaries of the President and the Vice President are established by the [[Legislature of Liberia]], and cannot be increased or reduced during the period for which they are elected. However, in view of the very rapidly deteriorating situation of the economy, I am informing you today, with immediate effect, that I will reduce my salary and benefits by 25% and give the proceeds back to the Consolidated Fund for allocation and appropriation as they see fit."<ref>[http://www.emansion.gov.lr/2press.php?news_id=4347&related=7&pg=sp President Weah Delivers Maiden State of the Nation; Assures 25% Cut in Salary] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180811022706/http://www.emansion.gov.lr/2press.php?news_id=4347&related=7&pg=sp |date=11 August 2018 }}, ''Libgov''.
