The Cook Islands is a self-governing state in free association with New Zealand and qualifies as a small island developing state (SIDS). Its economy was severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, triggering an Economic Recovery Roadmap to rebuild resilience, restore growth and align development with its Economic Development Strategy 2030. Tourism drives a large share of GDP, and concessional financing arrangements from institutions such as the Asian Development Bank support infrastructure needs, climate adaptation and social services - key enablers of sustainable and inclusive development in the face of geographic isolation and small markets.

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.
