Locations

Marshall Islands

The Republic of the Marshall Islands is a freely associated state with the United States, with economic activity heavily supported by U.S. Compact funding, fisheries and public administration. Geographic dispersion across atolls increases infrastructure and service delivery costs, while climate change and sea-level rise pose long-term existential risks. Recent development efforts focus on renewable energy, port and water infrastructure upgrades and fiscal reform. Sustaining economic stability will depend on continued Compact arrangements, strengthened public financial management and investments that enhance climate resilience and human capital development.

Micronesia

The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) is a small island developing state in free association with the United States. Its economy relies heavily on public sector activity, fisheries revenues and financial assistance under the Compact of Free Association. Geographic dispersion across hundreds of islands raises infrastructure and service delivery costs. Recent development priorities include strengthening climate resilience, upgrading maritime and energy infrastructure, and improving public financial management. Sustained growth will depend on effective implementation of Compact funding, expanded private sector participation, and enhanced governance capacity to address vulnerability to climate change and external shocks.
