Bank of PNG Raises Kina Facility Rate to 5.0%

The Bank of Papua New Guinea (BPNG) has raised the main interest rate to 5.0% and lowered the cash reserve requirement to 9.0%. These changes are made to control prices, support the Kina, and help the economy grow in the right way.

What does this mean for ordinary people? First, prices in shops are not going up as fast as before. Inflation is slowing down, so the cost of food and goods will rise more slowly. This helps protect the value of our money.

Second, loans from the bank, like for school fees, cars, or business, may become more expensive to repay. This is because higher interest rates make borrowing a bit harder. At the same time, savings in the bank could now earn more interest. This means saving money will give people a little extra benefit.

Third, a stronger Kina can make imports like fuel, rice, flour, and spare parts cheaper. This will help reduce costs for families and businesses that rely on imported goods.

In everyday life, this means food prices are sure rising more slowly, bank savings can grow a bit more, loans will be slightly more costly, and imported items like fuel may become cheaper.

Overall, Papua New Guinea’s economy is improving. Inflation is coming down, the Kina is being supported, and confidence is returning. These actions by the Bank of PNG are steps toward a more stable and better future for our country.

Football News | Beach Soccer

Papua New Guinea Beach Soccer created its own History today in taking part in their First ever International match.

The Team also scored one of the fastest goals in international Beach Soccer history in an incredible start to the OFC Beach Soccer Men’s Nations Cup in Honiara.

Having never played an international match, the Papua New Guinea players who hail from Fisherman Island off the coast of Port Moresby were expected to struggle against more experienced opponents.

But from the kick-off Demasol Manama blasted the ball into the net with the goal coming after just one and a half seconds.

The Boys shocked Fiji two minutes later with Ellygia Benard making it 2-0 before a shell-shocked Fiji found themselves three down a minute later when Goiravana Kala converted a freekick.

Fiji pulled a goal back through Adriu Nabose in the 6th minute before Papua New Guinea were at it again with another explosive free kick from Kala rifling past Sanaila Waqanicakau in the Fijian goal in the 9th minute.

Papua New Guinea ‘keeper Kopi Samuel made a mistake for Fiji’s second goal in the final minute of the first period as Jerry Sam’s side got back into the game.

The heavens opened in the second period and the scoring slowed, but it was Papua New Guinea who struck first with Benard nabbing his second.

France Catarogo then fired over the bar from the penalty spot for Fiji before another defensive mistake saw Steven Dean close the gap to two goals in the 20th minute.
Raven Samuel restored his side’s three goal advantage a minute later before Fiji closed the gap to two again, from a well struck free kick a minute before the end of the period.

As the rain continued to pour down, the clocked ticked down. Papua New Guinea extended their lead again through Joe Vere with six minutes remaining. But Fiji applied the pressure and struck twice in quick succession to close the gap to one.

With the Fijians pushing for an equalisier, Papua New Guinea were given a golden chance to kill off any resistance and duly did, with Ellygia Benard completing his hat-trick to add an eighth

Full-Time Score:
Fiji: 6 (Adriu NABOSE 6′ Own Goal’ 12’, Steven DEAN 20’, 32′, Navu WILLIE 23’, Rajneel SINGH 32′)
Papua New Guinea: 8 (Demasol MANAMA 1’, Ellygia BENARD 3’, 16’, 33′, Goiravana KALA 4’, 9’, Raven SAMUEL 21’, Joe VERE 30′)

MORE POSITIONS YET NO RESULTS
Opposition leader Douglas Tomuriesa has criticized the Prime Minister’s decision to appoint new vice-ministers and the intention of appointing more, without accounting for the work his existing ministers have produced thus far.
Mr. Tomuriesa said: “While our system of government allows for vice-ministers, these roles should be used when a certain minister or ministry genuinely needs extra support to carry the mandate of their duties, particularly in extenuating circumstances.
