AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Solomon Islands Leadership Shock: Matthew Wale has been elected prime minister in a secret ballot, beating the government candidate 26–22 after Jeremiah Manele was ousted in a no-confidence vote—an outcome Western diplomats are watching closely as Wale has long been more cautious about China’s security footprint. Energy & Cost Pressure: The World Bank warns Pacific growth will cool further in 2026 (below 3%), with diesel dependence and Middle East-linked fuel, freight and insurance costs hitting hardest. Honiara Power Pivot: In Honiara, the SIEA and ADB have signed on to build the first large-scale grid-connected solar PV project, with battery storage being assessed to cut reliance on diesel. Local Business Relief: SICCI welcomed a move to relocate east Honiara buses away from the Central Market to ease congestion and keep trade moving. Marine Protection Update: A new study shows whale sharks travel far farther across the Indo-Pacific than previously thought, strengthening the case for wider protection.
