AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Geopolitics & Pacific Influence: The Quad looks like it’s losing momentum, with the next meeting pushed down to foreign-minister level during US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s May 23–26 trip to India, while a later leaders’ summit in Australia stays uncertain. Kina & Inflation Pressure: A key driver of higher import costs is the low value of the Kina, with economists urging Kina stabilisation via monetary policy to ease affordability stress. Tax Incentives Under Scrutiny: PNG is “foregoing billions” through tax breaks, as the IRC points to rising tax expenditure—especially GST and import duty exemptions—while the World Bank flags the revenue hit. Mining Momentum: South Pacific Metals reports gold-copper mineralisation at Ontenu NE; Geopacific’s Woodlark DFS backs a long-life open-pit with A$1.3b post-tax NPV; and PNG authorities are tightening airport enforcement after another alleged gold export attempt. Green Infrastructure Push: France-backed redevelopment of the Port of Rabaul is nearing signing, tied to renewable energy, biodiversity and green finance. Connectivity Drive: Australia signals a new digital push aimed at unlocking K85b growth potential for PNG, as fuel supply remains “stable” but price risk lingers amid subsidy delays.
