Acknowledgements  May I take this opportunity to thank the business houses and community in Mt. Hagen and the Western Highlands province for your support in participating in the business and employment surveys conducted by the Bank – the support and co-operation that goes back some thirty years.
Your continued support in providing us with up-to-date information enhances the accuracy and quality of our reports and forecasting for the formulation of monetary policy. The input together with that from  other sources is compiled into the Quarterly Economic Bulletin and other Bank publications that are sought from within PNG and abroad.
