Institute of National Affairs executive director, Paul Barker made this comment in an interview in Port Moresby today.
IMF Article IV was released in November 2016, but to date the National Government have not responded to the article.
“It’s not, Government refusing to release the report to the IMF, it’s a IMF staff report been to their board and approved at the end of November, and they have given an opportunity for the (PNG) government to respond to it,” said Barker, an economist.
