| Résumé : | This work on economic development strategies and policy options for the Pacific Island economies is a regional overview that examines the growth performance of World Bank Pacific Island member countries (PMCs): Fiji, Kiribati, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Vanuatu and Western Samoa. It develops a framework for achieving higher rates of growth in the 1990s. The six member countries have achieved relatively high living standards in the face of many constraints. There was, however, a significant decline in per capita income. The sluggish growth and poor economic performance stands in sharp contrast to the GNP growth of comparable countries in the Carribean. The PMCs benefitted from high levels of foreign assistance. Massive aid flows enabled them to cover their domestic resource gaps and maintain high investment levels relative to GDP. Most investments in the 1980s concentrated on building physical infrastructure and on human resource development. There has been an inability to stimulate private investment in productive sectors. The PMCs need to develop new sources of growth. To restore sustained growth, there needs to be greater private sector participation in investment and in economic affairs. Efficient use of private investment will hinge on the capacity of entrepreneurs to identify and exploit the profitable niches. Expanding exports and services catering to the world market shows the most promise. The future role of development assistance in these growth processes is examined. |
