Papua New Guinea (PNG) has an estimated population of 7 million people, which accounts for well over half of the 10 million total persons living in the 22 Pacific Island states. PNG is a diverse country with 85% living in rural areas, and more than 700 languages (NSO, 2011 and World Bank, 2012). While PNG has enjoyed recent economic progress and has bright prospects for future revenue growth, growth has not been inclusive or broad based. The country still ranks a very low 153 out of 187 on the Human Development Index. According to the World Health Organization, PNG has the lowest health status in the Pacific region. Among the leading causes of mortality are HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB), pneumonia, and malaria. TB and pneumonia have high prevalence rates and are often associated with HIV infection. National TB/HIV co-infection rates are very high at 9%, and TB/HIV co-infection even higher in Port Moresby at 23%. PNG has the highest prevalence of HIV/AIDS among the Pacific Island Nations (UNAIDS, 2011). Ninety-five percent of HIV cases reported in the Pacific between 1987 and 2008 were Papua New Guineans (Coghlan et al, 2011). The Government of PNG (GoPNG) estimates that there are 34,000 people living with HIV in the country (31,000 adults and 3,100 children) (NACS/NDOH/UNAIDS, 2011). The first HIV case was reported in 1987 and reported cases have increased steadily since that time. HIV transmission is primarily heterosexual; important contextual factors include high rates of sexually transmitted infections (STI) with limited availability of effective treatment, early sexual debut, multiple and concurrent sexual partners including polygamy, sexual violence and rape, transactional sex, low and inconsistent condom use, increased mobility especially of men for work, and use of marijuana and alcohol. Illicit drug injection has been documented but is still thought to be very rare in PNG (NRI, 2010). While much is still unknown about the current and future status of the HIV epidemic in PNG, there is sufficient data to conclude that the epidemic has extended beyond urban and peri-urban areas to rural areas. Though HIV has been reported in all 22 provinces, the epidemic appears to show a geographical focus in the five Highlands provinces, home to 40% of nation's population but reporting 60% of the total number of HIV cases in 2010 (NDOH, 2011). Further, it is believed that the epidemic is concentrated in locations with a convergence of risk behaviors such as urban centers, along key transport routes (e.g. Highlands Highway), mining areas such as Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) sites, and other rural economic enclaves (IRG, 2011). While national HIV prevalence for adults is estimated at nearly one percent, HIV infection rates are much higher among most-at-risk populations (MARPs) compared to the general population. A 2010 integrated bio-behavioral survey conducted in the capital city of Port Moresby showed that female sex workers (FSWs) had a prevalence of 19%. For males who have sex with males (MSM) HIV prevalence was 14.1% and for transgender women HIV prevalence was 23.7% (IMR, 2010).

In terms of investment, Papua New Guinea’s geographic location, geopolitical importance and abundance of commodities, as well as the success of the PNG Liquefied Natural Gas project, have helped it become a favoured destination for Chinese and Japanese ventures, with expectations of further foreign direct investment (FDI) going forward, particularly in the primary sector. However, PNG remains a challenging place for international participants, and while high-level, strategically important projects are likely to proceed smoothly, smaller, more entrepreneurial ventures may face difficulty. To improve this reputation the country is trying to boost transparency and efficiency in business transactions, though new initiatives under way could see it adopt more protectionist policies, thereby going against the tenets of liberal economics it has traditionally embraced.

The Rainbow Nation benefits from an internationally competitive private sector, which accounts for roughly 70% of GDP, and extremely competitive infrastructure; its utility sector, for example, produces just under half of the total power generated on the African continent. South Africa represents by far the most developed market in Africa, but there are still some structural challenges it is grappling with. Government strategies have set a target of increasing labour market participation from 54% in 2010 to 65% by 2030, bringing the number of workers in the formal sector to 25.3m people and lowering unemployment from 25% to 6%. While its fiscal space is narrow, long-term investments in infrastructure, education and health are expected to be key to attaining its growth potential. Recent years have seen both the public and private sectors look to strengthen regulatory frameworks in mining and industry – in some cases, like the automotive sector, with impressive results.

Papua New Guinea's economic growth has outpaced the majority of economies in Southeast Asia and the Pacific since 2007. Its development challenges, however, remain daunting, and it lags behind other countries in the region in terms of per capita income and achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. This raises the question of how the country can make its economic growth high, sustained, inclusive, and broad-based to more effectively improve its population's welfare. This report identifies the critical constraints to these objectives and discusses policy options to help overcome such constraints.

- Minerals Yearbook, 2014, V. 3: Area Reports: International: Asia and the Pacific. Volume III, Area Reports: International, is published as four separate reports. These regional reports contain the latest available minerals data on more than 180 foreign countries and discuss the importance of minerals to the economies of these nations and the United States. Each report begins with an overview of the region's mineral industries during the year. It continues with individual country chapters that examine the mining, refining, processing, and use of minerals in each country of the region and how each country's mineral industry relates to U.S. industry. Most chapters include production tables and industry structure tables, information about Government policies and programs that affect the country's mineral industry, and an outlook section.
