After 10 straight years of economic growth, culminating in an impressive 8.9% increase in GDP in 2011 (compared to a world average of 4%), Papua New Guinea's economy is in robust shape.

Corporate profits are strong, with corporate tax revenue budgeted to rise by a heady 19.9% in 2012, the country's foreign reserves are at record levels and Government finances are in order, with the December 2011 Budget not only balanced, but promising greater development expenditure than any budget in the country's history.

In preparing Business Advantage Papua New Guinea 2012/13, we have extensively researched business conditions in the country and conducted over 40 interviews with Papua New Guinean and international business people, and relevant government agencies.

We have also this year introduced the PNG 100 CEO Survey, in which we asked PNG's top business leaders for their projections for the year ahead.

We hope this publication inspires and educates you to the possibilities that PNG has to offer. We look forward to receiving your comments at info@businessadvantageinternational.com
