AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoDebt and health fallout: Two years after the 2024 Nouméa riots, New Caledonia is still reeling as businesses shut, tourism collapsed, and an estimated 12,000 people have fled—creating gaps in healthcare and essential services, with local leaders warning the recovery is painfully slow. French financial lifeline: French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has announced new support for New Caledonia, aimed at preventing near-collapse in pensions and medicare, and helping balance the 2026 and 2027 budgets amid high debt tied to the unrest. Pacific diplomacy pressure: At the Pacific Islands Forum in Palau, China’s “Wolf Warrior” style warnings over Taiwan’s attendance put Palau in the middle, while leaders also backed reforms, stronger security, and more climate funding. Regional health watch: In Hawaiʻi, dengue virus was detected in Hilo wastewater, though no active cases were reported—health officials stress dengue is often travel-associated and urge precautions for travelers returning from affected areas, including Pacific destinations.
