Abstract

The absence of good time series data makes it difficult to analyse the economic history of Papua New Guinea (PNG). This chapter aims to fill this gap by providing time series for various important economic indicators since independence in 1975 or as close as possible thereafter. The data are available online for researchers as the PNG Economic Database at devpolicy.org/pngeconomic. The 36 graphs in this chapter are all sourced from the PNG Economic Database. The chapter also contains some analysis to tie the data together and begin to realise their value, and includes a summary of 15 findings of particular interest.
