AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

World Bank Jobs Push: A new World Bank report says Solomon Islands can turn recovery into more jobs and resilience, but warns growth is still narrow and driven mainly by mining, remittances and public spending—calling for better public finance management and more investment in agriculture and fisheries. Skills for Growth: Japan’s Nippon Foundation backs a Solomon Islands TAFE School of Trade, with PM Matthew Wale saying it will build the workforce needed for a manufacturing and processing economy. Fiscal Discipline Debate: Opposition MPs praised Finance Minister Gordon Darcy Lilo’s “realistic” approach in the 2026 supplementary bill, stressing the need to match spending with revenue and financing plans. SINPF Board Scrutiny: Opposition also urged broader financial and investment expertise for remaining Solomon Islands National Provident Fund (SINPF) Board appointments, after new chairman Dr Phillip Tagini and deputy Ronald Dive were named. Border Security Upgrade: Australia and Solomon Islands opened the Western Border Outpost in the Shortlands, bringing RSIPF, Customs, Immigration and Biosecurity together to strengthen border management and maritime security. Maritime IUU Crackdown: A regional surveillance operation (Operation Island Chief 2026) identified 16 vessels of interest and apprehended four, supporting stronger tuna protection across Pacific waters. Land Revenue Digital Plan: MLHS is exploring an Integrated Land Information System to improve government land records and land-rent collection. TAFE + Aviation + Power: Progress updates included Honiara airport’s Aviation Complex Building reaching 90% completion and the Tina Hydro project continuing toward February 2028 commissioning, with the TBM named “Rotima.”
