Papua New Guineas PPP GDP was $42.3 billion in 2023. Mining, agriculture (coffee, cocoa), and gas exports drive growth, with GDP per capita (PPP) at $4,800. Political instability and weak infrastructure hinder progress, though resource wealth offers potential. Rural poverty is widespread, and reliance on commodities poses risks. Investment in energy and tourism could boost economic diversification and stability.
