Consistent data on the Papua New Guinea economy back to independence is sparse. To fill this gap, the ANU-UPNG partnership has created the PNG Economic Database. This online database contains economic data for PNG back to independence, with more than 160 series.
The database will be launched by the Treasurer of PNG Ian Ling-Stuckey at the University of Papua New Guinea.
