PNG must position itself to attract investment

Papua New Guinea needs to strategically position itself to capture the rapidly expanding global market for sustainable investment, stated Chief Secretary to the Government Ivan Pomaleu. He emphasized that international investors are actively searching for markets that demonstrate credibility, transparency, and a firm commitment to sustainability principles.

Pomaleu made these remarks at the recent launch of the 2026 Green Finance Summit held in Port Moresby. The summit aims to address how the nation can better align with global financial trends and attract responsible investment.

The Chief Secretary's statement highlights a critical juncture for Papua New Guinea as it seeks to leverage global financial flows for its development. The focus on green finance suggests an alignment with international efforts to promote environmentally and socially responsible economic activities.
