Papua New Guinea remains on the international financial grey list—but Prime Minister James Marape says the real issue is not terrorism financing.
In this video, PM Marape reveals that weak enforcement, poor coordination, and lack of visible prosecutions in money laundering cases are the real reasons PNG continues to struggle to exit grey-listing.
Following a high-level meeting involving police, ICAC, the Ombudsman Commission, the Bank of Papua New Guinea, FASU, Justice Department, and other key agencies, the Prime Minister issued strong and clear directives to stop illegal money flows.
He warned that PNG’s economic growth efforts will be completely wasted if corruption and a shadow economy are allowed to benefit a small group at the expense of the nation.
The Prime Minister also directed authorities to:
Scrutinize public financial transactions
Examine Section 32 officers across government institutions
Track district-level spending
Begin enforcement actions as early as 2026, starting with targeted districts
This is about protecting PNG’s financial integrity, restoring public trust, and ensuring that public money truly serves the people.
📌 Key Question:
Will enforcement finally match political promises—or will corruption continue to hold Papua New Guinea back?
