Download or read book Pacific Economic Monitor December 2019 written by Asian Development Bank and published by . This book was released on 2019-12 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pacific Economic Monitor provides updates on developments in Pacific economies and explores topical policy issues. The 2019 growth forecast for the Pacific subregion has been raised from 3.5% to 4.2%, driven mainly by higher liquefied natural gas production in Papua New Guinea and increased construction expenditure in Samoa and Solomon Islands, as well as lower-than-projected economic decline in Nauru. However, project delays in Papua New Guinea, tepid growth in some economies, and slower recovery in others will likely moderate subregional growth to 2.6% in 2020. Highlights Trade conflict continues to weigh down on the global economy. Prospects for global growth continue to weaken as the ongoing trade conflict slows growth in major economies, including the People's Republic of China. The weak external environment translates into a softer 2019-2020 outlook for the Pacific through subdued exports, including from Fiji. Focusing on the development needs of small island developing states. The complex interplay among geographic and physical challenges faced by small island developing states manifests in elevated cost structures and heightened economic vulnerability that severely constrain development prospects. Compounded by fragility from thin institutional capacities for effective governance and elevated climate change risks--a clear "threat multiplier"--these challenges call for a differentiated approach to long-term development strategies among small island developing states.

Download or read book Pacific Economic Monitor July 2018 written by Asian Development Bank and published by Asian Development Bank. This book was released on 2018-07-01 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This issue highlights the economic prospects of the Pacific developing member countries (Pacific DMCs) and stresses the importance of improving the quality and access to basic and sustainable utilities in the Pacific DMCs. Access to electricity is low in the Pacific, particularly in the more remote and less developed parts of the subregion. Factors contributing to this include dependence on costly fossil fuels for power generation, inadequate investment in infrastructure, and electricity services that may be beyond the means of poorer rural households. To help address these challenges, most Pacific governments are taking steps to shift toward renewable energy and ultimately meet ambitious targets under international climate change commitments. Further, they have made strategic investments in more effi cient transmission networks, and better collection and payment systems.
