AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Economic Update: Samoa’s prime minister has asked the Ministry of Finance and Central Bank to provide Parliament with current economic figures after a GDP report showing a 200 million tala contraction was withdrawn over quality concerns. ADB Strategy: A new five-year Pacific plan includes Samoa, with investment aimed at jobs, essential services and infrastructure tailored to island economies. Digital Payments: Samoa’s new real-time transfer system is expected to speed up domestic payments and widen access to financial services, though trust and data protection remain key challenges. Trade Balance: Samoa recorded a $305 million trade deficit as imports continued to far exceed exports.
