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.

Kiribati is a low-lying Pacific island nation classified as a small island developing state and highly vulnerable to sea-level rise and climate change. Its economy relies on fisheries licensing revenues, remittances and external assistance. Public investment priorities include coastal protection, renewable energy, transport connectivity and freshwater security. Development partners provide substantial concessional financing and grant support to strengthen climate resilience and public service delivery. Enhancing fiscal sustainability, improving infrastructure governance and expanding economic opportunities beyond subsistence and public employment remain central development challenges.
