Press Release - Conclusion of the IMF Pacific Islands High-Level Conference

March 16, 2026

Washington, DC: The IMF hosted a closed-door, High-Level Pacific Islands Dialogue in Nadi, Fiji on March 12-13, 2026. The meeting was attended by high-level representatives from 14 Pacific Island countries, along with representatives from Pacific organizations, international financial institutions, and countries supporting the work of the IMF's Pacific Financial Technical Assistance Centre (PFTAC).

The event was the most recent of the IMF's regional conferences designed to foster a free exchange of views on the challenges facing Pacific Island policy-makers and IMF support. Sessions covered living standards, climate financing, payments systems, monetary policy, and fiscal policy. Discussions were frank and lively, and takeaways will drive the Fund's further engagement with the region, including the focus of policy analysis, and technical assistance and training.
