Papua New Guineas GDP (PPP) is estimated at $41.8 billion in 2025. Papua New Guineas economy relies on mining (gold, copper), oil, and agriculture, with LNG exports as a major driver. The PPP adjustment boosts GDP due to a low cost of living. Poverty, weak governance, and infrastructure deficits hinder growth, while tribal conflicts pose risks. Papua New Guinea aims to leverage resource wealth for development, but corruption and reliance on extractive industries limit progress. Investments in education and transport are critical for sustainability.
