Trade and Climate Finance: OACPS leaders are pressing the EU for fairer trade, investment and accessible climate funding under the Samoa Agreement, with calls for finance that does not deepen debt. Digital Economy: Samoa’s new National ID Policy maps out a digital identification system intended to support access to financial services and other public services; procurement is to be led by the Samoa Bureau of Statistics with World Bank funding. Local Business: Digicel Samoa paid a WST2.17 million dividend to a minority shareholder, while customs revenue exceeded its first-quarter target by WST11 million. Pacific Investment: Samoa Airways is surveying the diaspora on funding for a jet, as Pacific representatives use COP31 to seek climate finance and investment in resilience.
