PNG Databases

The PNG Budget Database compiles information from PNG national government budgets from 1989 onwards. It is designed to be used by any member of the public, government, NGO, media or researcher for their own analysis and comparisons over time. The database has been compiled to be in the same format as the original budget documents and includes information about revenue, expenditure, GDP, inflation, finance and debt from Volume 1 of successive budgets. It is updated twice yearly, when the Final Budget Outcome is released and at budget time. There is also now a provincial budget database.

The PNG Elections Database is an interactive website created by the Development Policy Centre. It gathers all available information on election results in Papua New Guinea since Independence, for both Provincial and Open electorates and includes an interactive tool for exploration, analysis about trends, and datasets for download and further research.

The PNG MP Database complements the PNG Elections Database by collecting information on what MPs do once elected.

The PNG Economic Database contains economic data for PNG back to independence, with 175 series.

The PNG databases have been created under the ANU-UPNG partnership, an initiative of the PNG-Australia Partnership, funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
