"We [previously] suggested BPNG shift away from setting the value of the kina in terms of the US dollar and towards defining the kina with reference to the TWI," say Bobby Kunda & @StephenRHowes. "Recent developments have only strengthened this argument.".
devpolicy.org
The experience of the last few years clearly adds weight to pegging the kina against a basket of currencies, say Bobby Kunda and Stephen Howes.

"While the [2024 PEV] ballot was incredibly popular, the post-ballot process has no doubt been difficult," say Natasha Turia & @StephenRHowes @devpolicy. "Finding a job in 🇦🇺 after winning a place in the lottery . has to be the key area for improvement".
devpolicy.org
Many Pacific Engagement Visa ballot winners don't get visas, so why not award more ballot places than there are visas available, say Turia and Howes.

The Solomon Islands government and its aid partners, traditional and emerging, should better define their roles and contributions, say Futaiasi and Zhang.
