Papua New Guinea

Country Report Papua New Guinea Papua New Guinea at a glance: 2004-05 OVERVIEW The governing coalition, led by the prime minister, Sir Michael Somare, should have a large enough parliamentary majority to defeat a no-confidence motion, if such a motion eventuates. However, the political scene remains unsettled, and the government’s effectiveness will be limited. The economic outlook is fairly positive for 2004-05. Inflationary pressures are easing, and improvements in agriculture, mining and oil activity should contribute to a pick-up in real GDP growth of more than 2% a year in 2004-05. The current account will remain in surplus in 2004, but will shift into deficit in 2005 as export revenue slips. Key changes from last month Political outlook • The opposition applied for a motion of no confidence in early July, but its application was rejected on “technical grounds”. If Sir Michael is eventually subjected to a motion of no confidence, he should have sufficient support in parliament to defeat it, barring extraordinary circumstances. Economic policy outlook • In the first quarter the government spent only 2% of its development budget. Therefore, there will be pressure on ministries and government agencies to speed up spending, particularly counterpart spending to facilitate the disbursement of international aid. Economic forecast • The kina continues to appreciate against the US dollar. By early July the kina had strengthened by around 6% compared with its value at end-2003. Stronger import demand will put some downward pressure on the kina during the remainder of the 2004.

However, there are major variations among countries. Papua New Guinea is one of the countries with the lowest number of female representatives in parliament. Two questions are asked in regard to the representation of women. First, why is it difficult for women to be elected in Papua New Guinea? And second, how do we explain where women were able to challenge others to be elected? Formal institution such as the electoral system is just one way to discuss gender equality. There are other areas of gender inequality that interact with the formal system relating to social, cultural, and economic factors. An analysis of these factors shows that even improving formal institutions to increase the number of women in political participation, gender inequality is still a challenge within and outside the legislative office.
