AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Trade: Samoa recorded a $305 million trade deficit as imports far exceeded exports, underscoring the scale of the country’s external imbalance. District Funding: Vaimauga 4 is first in line for $2 million in district development funding after completing its required reports; the first 70% is expected to be released by November, with the balance subject to audited accounts. Development Finance: Samoa has asked the Asian Development Bank to support its response to climate risks, drought and health pressures. The bank’s ongoing engagement also includes state-owned enterprise reforms. Digital Services: Samoa has opened market engagement for its national digital ID system and invited suppliers to take part.
