An integral component of the Papua New Guinea Government’s industrial development strategy is the promotion of investment in Papua New Guinea. The Investment Promotion Authority, established by an Act of Parliament in 1992, is responsible for this activity. Its focus is centered on attracting new investors to thecountry as well as encouraging existing investors, both foreign and domestic, to expand their investment.
Papua New Guinea, located on the eastern half of the island of New Guinea and 160 kilometers north of Australia, is rich in natural resources. Ranging from oil, gas and gold to fish, forests, coffee and spices, and much, much more, there is great investment potential.
Papua New Guinea comprises both the mainland and some 600 offshore islands and has a total land area of 470,000 square kilometers. PNG’s population currently stands at 5.1 million people with around 15 percent of the population living in the 10 major urban areas.
PNG has a moderate tropical climate with high levels of seasonal rainfall.
The Investment Promotion Authority in collaboration with the Business Council of Papua New Guinea and AUSTRADE have started preparations into the 26th Australia- Papua New Guinea Business Forum & Trade Expo to be held in Townsville, Australia from the 16th – 18th of May 2010.
The event this year will again feature the exhibition component of the forum which was initiated in 2007 and aimed at giving companies an opportunity to market their products known to existing and potential clients in either country and also to broaden their business relationships.
