flag World Bank report reveals half of Papua New Guinea's population lives in extreme poverty despite economic growth.

flag The World Bank report highlights persistent poverty in Papua New Guinea, where half the population lives on less than $3.65 a day. flag Despite economic growth, issues like malnutrition, with nearly half of children under five stunted, and limited access to basic services—only 19% have access to safe water and 15% to electricity—persist. flag The report also notes similar struggles in Fiji and Solomon Islands, underscoring that economic growth alone does not reduce poverty without targeted investments.
