AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Foreign Investment Amendment Bill: Samoa’s Parliament passed the Foreign Investment Amendment Bill’s second reading, tightening rules for foreign investors with new definitions, a registration certificate requirement, and added disclosure for beneficial owners and trust structures, including trustee updates within 14 working days. World Bank Partnership: A World Bank delegation met Samoa’s finance leadership and agencies to review progress on existing projects and discuss the draft Samoa Growth and Jobs Report, including a focus on speeding delivery and strengthening climate-resilient transport. El Niño Watch: Samoa’s Natural Resources and Environment Ministry says El Niño is already affecting rainfall, with a 60–70% chance of below-normal rainfall through Jan 2027, raising risks for water supplies, agriculture, livestock stress, heat illness, and wildfire likelihood. Agriculture Research: A USP PhD candidate is studying an ant-plant farming system in Fiji, where ants cultivate plants and rely on plant bacteria to suppress disease—potentially opening doors for more sustainable agriculture across Samoa and the Pacific. Local Sports (Netball): The Dragons made major squad changes ahead of the NSL play-off push, signing Saviour Tui, Holly Mather and Phoebe Maslen while others depart or retire. Pacific Games Netball: Romania Ng Lam Pose says she was shocked to make the final 12 for the Pacific Games, balancing training with studies in Fiji and aiming to give back to Samoa after her scholarship.
