Following a turbulent period in PNG politics, new Prime Minister James Marape made his first public address to the business community during PNG Investment Week 2019. Speaking in refreshingly honest terms about the country’s economic challenges, the prime minister also laid out an optimistic vision for capitalising on Papua New Guinea’s abundance of natural resources to promote economic diversification and sustainable, inclusive growth. In the latest OBG podcast, Regional Editor for Asia, Patrick Cooke, and Editorial Manager for PNG, Tjeerd Ritmeester, got together at the end of a busy week to reflect on how the business community is likely to respond to the PM’s pronouncements and discuss the key takeaways from PNG Investment Week 2019.
