AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Solomon Islands Power Shift: Matthew Wale was sworn in as prime minister after a tight 26–22 win in parliament, promising “discipline and prudent management” and warning some reforms may be “painful,” with Francis Sade named deputy PM and a full 24-member Cabinet quickly put in place. Fisheries Flashpoint: In the same political churn, the Solomon Islands reinstated a ban on live dolphin exports just days after it was quietly lifted—an incoming move Wale says protects fisheries standards and the tuna industry’s reputation. Clean-Up and Health: A major clean-up is planned after concerns raised about carcinogens linked to drug-making, with attention turning to safer manufacturing and public health. Energy Transition Push: Honiara’s grid is set for its first large-scale solar push, with the ADB backing SIEA on project prep and tendering as diesel still dominates power generation. Pacific Economic Pressure: The World Bank warns growth across Pacific island states will slow in 2026 as fuel and shipping costs bite, with youth jobs now a central focus.
