Thank you very much for the opportunity to participate in this discussion. I’d like to structure these opening remarks around three key messages.

Improving Access to Climate Finance
February 2 , 2023
Climate change, in my view, is likely to be one of the foremost macroeconomic, financial, and debt policy challenges that IMF members will face over the coming decades.

The good news is that at the current rate of $630 billion a year, the scaling up has already begun. ESG investments continue growing as an asset class on the investment landscape. The bad news is that this amount is still far short of the estimated financing needed for the green transition.

After a three-year recession driven by the Covid-19 pandemic, the Samoan economy is experiencing a strong recovery driven by the return of tourism.

With the economy recovering, a gradual normalization of the Central Bank of Samoa’s highly accommodative monetary stance is appropriate, to contain further increases in private borrowing and build up policy space to respond to future shocks.
