PNG DAL to develop rice farming into industry

17/1/2021

 
​THE Papua New Guinea  Department of Agriculture and Livestock (DAL) has plans in place to develop a corporate entity to develop rice farming into an industry to generate revenue, an official says.
Programme manager for the department’s rice extension unit Steven Hoko said, in Maprik yesterday, that rice was only a programme in the department. Hoko said the plan would be to create a rice board with its own corporate entity with the push to strengthen domestic rice production.
Rice, unlike other crops, does not have a body in place to manage it and develop strategies, goals and plans to roll out.

  • o The Acquisition will be funded through a combination of existing cash reserves, cashflow from ordinary operations, retained earnings in the PNG business being paid to Westpac, tier two subordinated debt instruments and potential equity investment from a number of strategic investors.
  • o It is not proposed that there will be any changes to the board or senior management as part of, or in connection with, the Acquisition.

PNG Government borrows K100 million Loan from ADB for Air Niugini bailout

10/11/2020

 
Picture
The Papua New Guinea government   Treasurer Ian Ling-Stuckey says a K100 million funding from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) will assist Air Niugini in its restructure and reorganisation.

The airline is resuming domestic flights and slowly restarting international flights after the Covid-19 lockdown eight months ago.
Ling-Stuckey in a statement said the recovery task would take a bit longer and be more difficult for Air Niugini.
He said some State-owned enterprises (SOEs) such as PNG Ports, Water PNG and Motor Vehicle Insurance Ltd had continued operating through the pandemic.
But PNG Power Ltd and Air Niugini were badly affected.
Ling-Stuckey said there would be clearer frameworks for public-private partnerships ensuring that the public interest was protected while encouraging a level playing field for increased competition.

“The PNG Trade Union Congress is dead right,” Namah said in a statement.
“The amendments to the Central Banking Act were passed without debate in the last sitting of Parliament and now paves the way for the Government to print money.
