AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Compact Funding Crunch: A new U.S. GAO report says Compact of Free Association money is getting stuck behind delays and missed paperwork—audits and required reports for Palau, FSM and the Marshall Islands have been late since 2019, and FY2024 funds were deposited after the fiscal year ended, slowing projects and raising costs. Local Politics: Palau’s Senate has rejected the Elite Visa modernization bill after House budget riders added millions in amendments, sending it to a conference committee. Health & Law: Palau marked National Nurses Week (May 6–12) and also signed a tougher anti-drug law expanding felony charges and adding accountability for law enforcement. Economy Watch: The World Bank warns Pacific growth is losing momentum as fuel costs, inflation and repeated shocks become the “new normal,” with Palau’s growth expected to cool in FY26.
