AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Education Policy: Solomon Islands’ push for “free education” is sparking a reality check: tuition may be covered, but the real question is who pays for the full cost—teachers, materials, transport, meals and tertiary living—so no student is still priced out. Customs & Trade Facilitation: Solomon Islands Customs has rolled out new ASYCUDA World manifest data requirements for shipping and airline agents, including extra “Notify” details and carrier TINs, to improve cargo tracking and clearance. Banking & Construction: The Central Bank of Solomon Islands (CBSI) has started procurement for an eight-storey Honiara headquarters designed to meet Australian/New Zealand codes and local building rules, with climate-resilient and security-focused features. Aviation Infrastructure: Work on Honiara International Airport’s Aviation Complex Building is nearing completion under SIRAP2, with façade installation and access road progress reported. Extractives Governance: UNDP says it will support Solomon Islands to rejoin EITI to strengthen transparency in mining and extractives, while civil society training is also underway. Resource Sector Oversight: Opposition and government voices are clashing over Attorney-General Gabriel Suri and APID-linked bauxite shipments, raising fresh questions about conflict of interest and integrity. Minimum Wage Debate: The Solomon Islands Chamber of Commerce and Industry urges an evidence-based minimum wage review, warning against changes without solid cost-of-living and business capacity data. Rural Transport & Agriculture: Malaita and Guadalcanal projects are boosting farm-to-market access—tar-sealed road works in Malaita and truck handovers in North Guadalcanal—aimed at lifting rural productivity and incomes.
