Issue 4

We've come to the end of another bustling year, and 2024 has been good to us at PNG Business News -- witness Issue 4 in your hands, a massive 164-page tome of the latest and best news on Papua New Guinea's resources industries and business sector.

As you flip the pages, take note first of our eminent columnist Mick McWalter's piece on petroleum sector reform, starting on page 10.

Our cover image is courtesy of Ok Tedi Mining Limited (OTML), which marks its 40th anniversary this year.

Related to that is Prime Minister James Marape handing over the reins of the Ministry of Mining to Hon. Wake Goi, who assumed office in September.

Finally, topping the business activities in this previous quarter is the launch of the Australia-PNG Development Partnership Plan 2024-2029, unveiled by the Australian High Commission recently.

This and other business articles fill our pages once more, and we have no one to thank but you, dear patron, for another year of highs and breakthroughs. Cheers for a prosperous 2025 to all!
