Samoa GDP 2% growth forecast for 2017/18

While presenting the Budget yesterday, Minister Sili Epa said growth will be driven by improvements in the business climate, tourism and construction including infrastructure projects.

“The performance of the tourism sector is expected to further improve in the medium-term with increased funding to support targeted destination marketing in Australia and New Zealand and expected increased air services into the country in the latter part of 2018,” he said.
