AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

SIMHL & Sovereign Wealth Fund: The Parliamentary Independent Group backs Finance Minister’s moves to regularise Solomon Islands Mineral Holding Limited, but says SIMHL should be established by an Act of Parliament, and supports a constitutional amendment to create a Sovereign Wealth Fund—ideally as the foundation for SIMHL governance. Water & ESG Capacity: Solomon Water, with ADB support, completed an ESMS knowledge-sharing workshop with Fiji’s Water Authority, producing a gap analysis and a path to a single Solomon Water-owned environmental and social management system. Energy & Rural Access: China and Solomon Islands signed the second phase of a mini solar project to extend clean power to the remaining 25 constituencies, building on the first phase’s 25 installations. Agriculture & Finance: World Bank support continues through SIART visits to agribusiness producer organisations in Guadalcanal, while Solomon Islands urged stronger, more accessible climate and land-restoration financing at UNCCD COP17. Public Finance & Accountability: The High Court ruled the 2023 Pacific Games spending breached public finance rules, and the Pacific Games Council will seek legal advice on next steps. Payments & Banking: CBSI launched Instant Funds Transfer between participating banks (SBD5,000 limit) to speed up transactions for households and small businesses. Tourism Leadership: Tourism Solomons appointed Andrew Nihopara as CEO after a five-year vacancy. Fiscal Snapshot: CBSI reported a July 2026 provisional operating deficit of SBD1m after a surge in expenditure.
