| Summary: | This 2010 Article IV Consultation highlights that real activity in Papua New Guinea was relatively unaffected by the global downturn, with growth easing to roughly 5 percent in 2009 from 7 percent in 2008.

Export demand also held up, as stimulus measures in other Asian countries supported demand for commodities, the country's main export. |
