2021年太平洋岛国经济形势

Abstract:In 2021，the global economy has managed a “V”-shaped recovery，but the recovery of the Pacific island nations in the ocean is likely to be further complicated by continuing border closures，traffic controls and travel restrictions around the world. The persistent pressure of epidemic prevention adds up to a series of challenges，such as economic contraction，low employment，sharp drop in residents’ income，difficulties in business operation，and widening government fiscal deficit，adds more risk of uncertainty to the economic and social development of the Pacific Island countries. With a weak public health system that would overwhelm most Pacific island nations even in the face of a small outbreak of epidemic，there is still a major conflict between implement borders control and pursuing economic recovery. It is imperative that the island countries rely on more flexible and precise strategic arrangements to effectively ensure the normal operation of some industries and coordinate efforts to ease the pressure on all sides of the government and enterprises on the basis of strengthening the prevention and control of the epidemic，which will minimize the short-term negative impact of the epidemic on the economy and prepare the economy for a long-term recovery.
