Locations

Cook Islands

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.
