Today, I want to focus on reforms in the next four to six years. What realistically we could do to move our economy forward. These reforms should drive growth for the next ten years. So, the theme for this morning is about “setting the foundation for robust, broad-based and inclusive growth”.
I. Solomon Islands economy in 2018 The Solomon Islands economy witnessed another successful year in 2018. CBSI estimates that the economy grew by 3.9 percent, up from 3.7 percent in 2017. This result was driven mainly by favourable performance in the services sector, particularly from wholesale retail, transport and financial services.
