Projects & Results
Pacific Economics works across economic security, strategic investment, financial integrity, climate finance, and regional program delivery. Our projects show how we combine Pacific knowledge, rigorous analysis, project development, and implementation support to help governments and partners make better decisions, mobilise funding, manage risk, and deliver results.
Unlocking Blue Pacific Prosperity
Pacific Economics analysed more than 90,000 financial transactions to show where capital was flowing across Pacific ocean and food-system priorities and where major gaps remained. The work gave regional partners a shared financial baseline for directing new capital, identifying underfunded priorities, and building more fit-for-purpose financing strategies.
Sustainable Finance Across Micronesia
Pacific Economics assessed sustainable funding options across five Micronesian jurisdictions, helping partners identify financing mechanisms with realistic financial, political, and institutional pathways to implementation.
Palau Biodiversity Finance
Pacific Economics mapped five-year NBSAP-related financing, tracing funding from sources through agencies and implementing activities. The work gave Palau a practical financial baseline for identifying funding gaps, costing national biodiversity priorities, and moving from strategy toward coordinated resource mobilisation.
Pacific Financial Integrity & Correspondent Banking
Pacific Economics developed risk-based AML/CFT, KYC, and correspondent-banking readiness tools for Pacific financial institutions. Our gap analysis and implementation roadmap helped translate compliance requirements into practical actions designed to strengthen transparency, reduce banking risk, and protect access to the international financial system.
Climate Finance Institutional Readiness
Pacific Economics developed a multi-domain readiness framework covering governance, financial management, procurement, safeguards, gender, stakeholder engagement, and project management. The framework converted complex climate-finance requirements into a repeatable system for identifying gaps, organising evidence, and strengthening institutional readiness.
Marshall Islands Economic Security & Resilience
Pacific Economics helped the Republic of the Marshall Islands organise evidence around foreign investment, economic influence, illicit-finance exposure, and regulatory vulnerabilities. The work gave decision-makers a clearer basis for understanding cross-sector risks and identifying practical measures to strengthen oversight, financial integrity, and interagency coordination.
Palau Investment Risk & Economic Resilience
Pacific Economics combined field research, government consultations, risk analysis, and data tools to help identify foreign-investment and influence risks affecting Palau. The work gave decision-makers earlier visibility into recurring risk patterns and a practical foundation for considering stronger interagency investment review while preserving pathways for productive investment.
Pacific Economic Security Decision Support
Pacific Economics helped a U.S. government client connect open-source data with Pacific context, decision requirements, and policy judgment. We assessed data-provider capabilities, structured analytic frameworks, and translated regional information into decision-relevant analysis that improved understanding of economic and influence risks across the Pacific.
Pacific Country Economic & Political Analysis
Pacific Economics provides locally grounded economic, political, and policy analysis across Pacific economies. Our work brings Pacific-specific context into international country reporting, helping global audiences better understand local institutions, economic developments, policy changes, and political dynamics that remote analysis can miss.
Waste-to-Energy Investment Platform
Pacific Economics transformed a waste-to-energy opportunity into an investor-ready infrastructure platform by clarifying capital requirements, projected revenues, financial returns, environmental value, and replication potential. The work gave the sponsor a financeable investment narrative built around scale, risk allocation, and measurable commercial and environmental performance. Financial figures represent modeled projections.
Fiji Sports Tourism, Wellness & Events
Pacific Economics helped reposition a complex Fiji development concept into a phased, financeable platform. We clarified the sequence between hospitality, health and wellness, sports, and events assets so investors could understand what should be developed first, how risk could be ring-fenced, and how later-stage assets could become more financeable.
Digital Operating Layer for Climate Finance
Program & Technology DesignPacific Economics designed an AI-assisted digital workflow model for climate-finance program management — linking institutional readiness assessment, disbursement support, evidence management, audit trails, and results reporting. The concept showed how programs could move from fragmented spreadsheets and email to structured, AI-ready digital systems that produce more transparent, donor-ready program records and reduce manual compliance burden.
