Sustaining Growth: A Private Sector Assessment for Vanuatu

Abstract

Vanuatu is establishing a foundation for sustained economic growth. The government has signaled its intention to make Vanuatu a more business-friendly environment for private sector development, with sound macroeconomic management and improved policies toward the private sector, but much remains to be done. This report outlines major constraints to private sector-led growth, which are undermining Vanuatu’s competitiveness. It recommends high-priority reforms to address these constraints.
