BSP SUPPORTS SEZ SUMMIT AS GOLD SPONSOR
Themed “Reflecting on our past 50 years and charting the next 50 years”, the second SEZ Summit, will take place from August 31 to September 3 in Port Moresby. It is a key lead-up event in PNG’s 50th Independence Anniversary — providing a platform for government, industry, international experts, and development partners to reflect on PNG’s economic progress and set a strategic direction for the next 50 years.
The Minister for International Trade and Investment, Hon. Richard Maru, MP, thanked BSP for its contribution and support of the summit, emphasising the critical role of public-private partnerships in achieving economic independence.
“We appreciate BSP’s commitment as Gold Sponsor. The bank’s support sends a clear message — that our financial institutions are invested in PNG’s long-term development. This summit is about more than SEZs. It’s about resetting our course and ensuring that in the next 50 years, PNG achieves true economic independence. We need to downstream process all our resources, build new industries, and create more opportunities for our people,” said Minister Maru.
BSP Group CEO Mark Robinson said the bank is pleased to continue play a role in nation building, going beyond traditional financial services.
