AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

5G Rollout: PNG’s telecom regulator NICTA has cleared the way for 5G by making 2.6 GHz and 3.5 GHz spectrum available for licensing, with Vodafone PNG targeting coverage in NCD plus at least one other city within 18 months. Energy Investment: PNG has offered TotalEnergies-led Papua LNG partners improved terms, but only if they take the final investment decision by 15 December, with the minister calling it a “drop-dead deadline.” Financial Inclusion: Bank South Pacific and the Bank of PNG used the AFI forum to push the message that inclusion only works when the financial system is safe and trusted, highlighting digital payments and BSP’s Wantok Wallet. Climate Finance: The Green Climate Fund backed the Pacific Resilience Facility, describing it as a Pacific-led mechanism that can complement GCF support for resilience and community delivery. Retirement Security: Nasfund CEO Rajeev Sharma received the King’s Medal for 25 years of service, recognising leadership in finance and superannuation. Customs & Trade: Customs Chief Commissioner David Towe urged tighter government-private teamwork, pointing to a National Single Window push and intelligence-led cargo targeting to keep trade moving. Tourism & Culture: Air Niugini and WR Carpenters Group are backing the Hiri Moale Festival, including Air Niugini’s prize travel for the Hiri Hanenamo quest winners and runners-up. Mining & Exploration: Geopacific, Great Pacific Gold and South Pacific Metals reported new gold and copper-gold targets across PNG projects, keeping investor attention on resource growth.
