The Pacific Forum blog features articles that directly relate to pertinent issues faced by the Pacific Islands. The blog offers an excellent opportunity for colleagues to develop independent thinking, analysis, insight and depth relating to Pacific-centric financial-economic challenges. It also signals an intention of policymakers to deliberate on and engage with the public on matters of national concern. Ultimately, we aim to expand our reach and contribute to public discourse by publishing articles that resonate beyond our region.
