Papua New Guinea Facts
ADB's Work in Papua New Guinea
Papua New Guinea (PNG) is a resource-dependent, lower-middle-income country. Its economy is driven by capital-intensive mineral and petroleum extraction, alongside a labor-intensive agriculture sector. In recent years, the service sector has gained increasing importance. However, PNG faces challenges such as weak governance and institutions, high vulnerability to economic shocks, and an underdeveloped private sector. As a small island developing state (SIDS) and a fragile and conflict-affected state (FCAS) in the Pacific, PNG’s economic resilience remains a key concern.
To date, ADB has committed 277 public sector loans, grants, and technical assistance totaling $5.1 billion to PNG.
