AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Fuel Crisis Watch: Samoa has been placed on amber alert over the global fuel situation, triggering EPC power shedding and school closures/remote learning as officials say the move is precautionary despite stable supply and reserves. Energy Costs: The latest surge keeps diesel caps rising across the Pacific, with Samoa reporting a 71% jump since April and other islands also lifting prices. Trade Diplomacy: Pacific ACP trade officials are pushing for stronger implementation of EU partnership deals, arguing the region must turn commitments into real benefits as global uncertainty and climate pressures mount. Moana Pasifika Future: A decision on Moana Pasifika’s next chapter is expected within weeks, with Samoa and Tonga-led plans discussed after liquidation and debts reported above $8 million. Hospitality Jobs: Marriott appoints John Douglas as Area General Manager for the Pacific Islands, with oversight across Fiji, Samoa and more. Rugby Focus: Manu Samoa names its Nations Cup squad, including Moana Pasifika captain Miracle Fai’ilagi, while management says concerns inside the team have been addressed through communication and monitoring. Sports & Community: Tag World Cup preparations get a boost with two Central Coast Oztag mentors running clinics in Samoa.
