Agriculture provides a    subsistence livelihood for 85% of the population. Mining of numerous    deposits, including copper and gold, accounts for about 60% of export    earnings. Budgetary support from Australia and development aid under    World Bank auspices have helped sustain the economy. Robust growth in    1991-92 was led by the mining sector; the opening of a large new gold    mine helped the advance. At the start of 1995, Port Moresby is looking    primarily to the exploitation of mineral and petroleum resources to    drive economic development but new prospecting in Papua New Guinea has    slumped as other mineral-rich countries have stepped up their    competition for international investment. Output from current projects    will probably begin to taper off in 1996, but no new large ventures    are being developed to succeed them.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $9.2 billion (1994    est.)       National product real growth rate: 6.1% (1994 est.)       National product per capita: $2,200 (1994 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 1.6% (1994)       Unemployment rate: NA%       Budget:    revenues: $1.33 billion    expenditures: $1.36 billion, including capital expenditures of $NA    (1995 est.)       Exports: $2.4 billion (f.o.b., 1993 est.)    commodities: gold, copper ore, oil, logs, palm oil, coffee, cocoa,    lobster    partners: Australia, Japan, US, Singapore, New Zealand       Imports: $1.2 billion (c.i.f., 1993 est.)    commodities: machinery and transport equipment, manufactured goods,    food, fuels, chemicals    partners: Australia, Japan, UK, New Zealand, Netherlands       External debt: $3.2 billion (1992)       Industrial production: accounts for 32% of GDP       Electricity:    capacity: 490,000 kW    production: 1.8 billion kWh    consumption per capita: 390 kWh (1993)       Industries: copra crushing, palm oil processing, plywood production,    wood chip production, mining of gold, silver, and copper,    construction, tourism       Agriculture: Accounts for 25% of GDP; livelihood for 85% of    population; fertile soils and favorable climate permits cultivating a    wide variety of crops; cash crops - coffee, cocoa, coconuts, palm    kernels; other products - tea, rubber, sweet potatoes, fruit,    vegetables, poultry, pork; net importer of food for urban centers       Economic aid:    recipient: US commitments, including Ex-Im (FY70-89), $40.6 million;    Western (non-US) countries, ODA and OOF bilateral commitments    (1970-89), $6.5 billion; OPEC bilateral aid (1979-89), $17 million       Currency: 1 kina (K) = 100 toea       Exchange rates: kina (K) per US$1 - 0.8565 (December 1994), 0.9950    (1994), 1.0221 (1993), 1.0367 (1992), 1.0504 (1991), 1.0467 (1990);    note - the government floated the kina on 10 October 1994       Fiscal year: calendar year       Papua New Guinea:Transportation       Railroads: 0 km       Highways:    total: 19,200 km    paved: 640 km    unpaved: gravel, crushed stone, stabilized earth 10,960 km; unimproved    earth 7,600 km       Inland waterways: 10,940 km       Ports: Kieta, Lae, Madang, Port Moresby, Rabaul       Merchant marine:    total: 12 ships (1,000 GRT or over) totaling 22,565 GRT/27,071 DWT    ships by type: bulk 2, cargo 3, combination ore/oil 5, container 1,    roll-on/roll-off 1       Airports:    total: 505    with paved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 1    with paved runways 1,524 to 2,437 m: 13    with paved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 5    with paved runways under 914 m: 411    with unpaved runways 1,524 to 2,438 m: 12    with unpaved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 63       Papua New Guinea:Communications       Telephone system: more than 70,000 telephones (1987); services are    adequate and being improved; facilities provide radiobroadcast,    radiotelephone and telegraph, coastal radio, aeronautical radio, and    international radiocommunication services    local: NA    intercity: mostly radio telephone    international: submarine cables extend to Australia and Guam; 1    INTELSAT (Pacific Ocean) earth station; international radio    communication service       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM 31, FM 2, shortwave 0    radios: NA       Television:    broadcast stations: 2 (1987)    televisions: NA       Papua New Guinea:Defense Forces       Branches: Papua New Guinea Defense Force (includes Army, Navy, and Air    Force)       Manpower availability: males age 15-49 1,111,661; males fit for    military service 618,696 (1995 est.)       Defense expenditures: exchange rate conversion - $55 million, 1.8% of    GDP (1993 est.)
