Report by Papua New Guinea
After a long period of stagnation experienced during the 1990’s Papua New Guinea showed positive economic growth over the last decade with a GDP growth average of around 5-6% and reaching 7.2% in 2008. This strong growth was attributed mainly to the commodity price boom enhanced by structural reforms and supported by the Government’s prudent macroeconomic and fiscal policies.
