PNG's eight point plan for economic development

• A rapid increase in the proportion of the economy under the control of Papua New Guineans. • More equal distribution of economic benefits including a move towards equalising incomes. • Decentralised economic activity, planning and government spending with emphasis on agricultural development and village industry. • Emphasis on small-scale artisan, service and business activity. • A more self-reliant economy, less dependent for its needs on imported goods and services. • An increasing capacity for meeting government-spending needs from locally-raised revenue. • A rapid increase in the equal and active participation of women in both the economy and social activity. • Government control and involvement in those sectors of the economy where control is necessary to achieve the desired kind of development.
