The 150-page comprehensive report covers key points of agreement that emerged from presentations and discussions that took place over the course of nine months last year, and the two-day conference hosted in February of this year.

One of the key aims of this report is to enable decision policy makers to have increased knowledge on options for Autonomy and Decentralisation in PNG, enabling them to consider specific legal and technical arrangements.

PNG SWF consists of a number of sovereign funds aimed to support the long-term social and economic development objectives of the State.

It provides a means of saving for future generations and facilitates the macroeconomic stabilisation of the PNG budget and economy.

The three reports are among others that will be released this year, including the Small and Medium Enterprises, internet access in PNG, state of the economy and the review on Port Moresby and Lae City urban plans.

NRI director Dr Charles Yala said all the reports will not be publicly launched.
