Treasurer Ian Ling-Stuckey presented the 2026 Supplementary Budget to the Papua New Guinea Parliament, detailing a total expenditure of K3.02 billion. The budget allocates K1.34 billion toward three primary areas: fuel assistance, El Nino response, and debt interest payments. These measures are intended to address current economic pressures and climate-related challenges facing the nation.
The fuel assistance package represents the largest single expenditure item at K539 million. According to the Treasurer, this funding is essential for maintaining fuel prices at March levels, effectively freezing costs for consumers. Additional allocations include K500 million for El Nino mitigation and K300 million designated for debt interest obligations.
