Locations

Australia

Australia is a high-income, developed country with a diversified economy and substantial public and private investment in infrastructure, research and services. The government continues to expand major public infrastructure pipelines for transport, housing and energy systems to support productivity and resilience, and its national infrastructure advisory body provides independent guidance to improve efficiency and outcomes. Australia also plays a significant role in international development: through its official development assistance (ODA) program it aims to strengthen economic resilience, climate action and social inclusion across the Indo-Pacific, with record ODA budgets and targeted regional partnerships.

Papua New Guinea

Papua New Guinea (PNG) is a resource-rich lower-middle-income country whose economy is heavily dependent on extractive industries, particularly liquefied natural gas, mining and petroleum. While resource exports generate substantial revenues, growth has been uneven and infrastructure deficits remain significant. Development strategies emphasise improving transport and energy infrastructure, strengthening governance and expanding agricultural productivity to support inclusive growth. Fiscal pressures, law-and-order concerns and vulnerability to commodity price fluctuations present ongoing challenges. Enhancing human capital and institutional capacity is critical to translating resource wealth into broad-based development outcomes.
