Investor Presentaiton
Conclusion
▸ Our first conclusion would be that since the coefficient of GDP is positive and highly
significant as expected, this implies PNG tends to trade more with larger economies
irrespective of distance.
Since the coefficient for RTA is negative, we are of the view that PNG's involvement in
her current RTA membership is creating a trade diversion.
▸ Given their growth trajectory and abundant resource potential, they provide a strong
platform for greater economic engagement with Asia whom they have trade
potential.
Answering to our earlier question whether PNG can take advantage of their potential;
we are of the view that this could be possible given that they have not fully exhausted
their natural resources and most of the trade potential are with countries close by like
the Asian countries, the Pacific and Europe.View entire presentation
