Papua New Guinea: Requests for an Arrangement under the Extended Credit Facility and an Extended Arrangement under the Extended Fund Facility-Press Release; Staff Report; and Statement by the Executive Director for the Papua New Guinea, (USA: International Monetary Fund, 2023) accessed November 21, 2024
Summary
Papua New Guinea (PNG) is a fragile state, vulnerable to natural disasters and terms of trade shocks. Low commodity prices in 2014-20, a severe drought in 2015-16, and a major earthquake in 2018 softened growth, led to shortages of FX, and contributed to a pre-pandemic build-up of public debt. The pandemic further increased public debt, which is now at high risk of distress, while development needs remain considerable.
