Following are links to useful sources of information on the PNG economy:

• Fiscal policy – primarily through the PNG Treasury website at http://www.treasury.gov.pg/.  Key areas of this site are the links to the National Budget as well as information on public debt (as a positive, they have started publishing again debt issuance plans)
• Monetary policy – primarily through the Bank of Papua New Guinea (BPNG) website at http://www.bankpng.gov.pg/. Towards the bottom left are useful links especially to the six monthly Monetary Policy Statement and supporting statistics. There is also a useful link to statistics on the bottom right of the front page.
• General macroeconomic issues:
  • Domestic think tanks – the key links are to the PNG Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) at http://www.inapng.com/ and the National Research Institute at www.pngnri.org/ .
  • There are a growing list of links to educational information on the PNG economy. Hopefully, the extent of these links will increase through time. An excellent example of this information is at http://michaelcornish.org/upng/ .  After a somewhat embarrassing introduction about me, there are links to excellent lectures covering the following topics:
    • Microeconomics –  http://michaelcornish.org/principles-of-micro/
    • International Trade – http://michaelcornish.org/international-economics/
    • Development Economics – http://michaelcornish.org/economic-development/
  • In this world of the internet, there are many free open source materials on economics education. An example is the free course (after the free registration) at http://www.core-econ.org/ .
  • Domestic financial information – the big banks in PNG produce largely descriptive reports although these are often limited to their customers. Kina Securities produces a useful daily and weekly updates at http://www.kina.com.pg/news/ .
  • Economic information on PNG is also presented by the IMF (http://www.imf.org/external/country/PNG/), the World Bank (http://www.worldbank.org/en/country/png), the ADB (http://www.adb.org/countries/papua-new-guinea/main) and UN organisations (eg http://www.pg.undp.org/).
  • There are also external think tanks and organisations that provide information on PNG. For example, the Development Policy Centre at the Australian National University often has PNG articles at http://devpolicy.org/.
  • Fiji’s central bank provides a useful set of simplified notes explaining key economic concepts which have been written for the non-economic audience at http://www.rbf.gov.fj/Publications/Newspaper-Articles
