ʻO ka ulu ʻana o ka hoʻokele waiwai ma ka ʻāina Pākīpika i ka makahiki 2009 e manaʻo ʻia e luʻu ma lalo o nā wānana mua, akā e mau ka maikaʻi ma 2.8%, i ʻōlelo ʻia e kahi hoʻolaha Asia Development Bank (ADB) i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i kēia pule.

Ke mau nei ka pōʻino o ke kūlana, no ka hapa nui o nā ʻoihana Pakipika. Inā kāpae ʻia nā lāhui waiwai o Papua New Guinea a me Timor-Leste, a laila ua wānana ʻia ka ulu waiwai ʻana ma ka Pākīpika e 0.4% i kēia makahiki.

ʻO ka pukana ʻelua o ka Pacific Economic Monitor ua ʻōlelo ʻia ʻelima mau ʻekekika Pākīpika - nā mokupuni ʻo Cook, nā mokupuni ʻo Fiji, Palau, Samoa, a me Tonga - i manaʻo ʻia e ʻaelike ma ka makahiki 2009, no ka nawaliwali o ka huakaʻi a me nā hoʻouna kālā.

ʻO ka Monitor kahi loiloi hapahā o nā lāhui 14 o ka Pākīpika e hāʻawi nei i kahi hōʻano hou o nā hanana a me nā pilikia kulekele i kēia wahi.
ʻOiai ke hōʻike nei ka hoʻokele waiwai o ka honua i nā hōʻailona o ka hoʻokūpaʻa ʻana, ka hopena lohi o ka Pākīpika mai ka hāʻule ʻana o ka hoʻokele waiwai ma USA, Australia a me New Zealand - nā ʻāpana kalepa ʻoihana nui o ka ʻāina - e manaʻo paha ʻaʻole e holo pono nā ʻoihana Pakipika.

Wahi a ka hōʻike e pili ana ka wikiwiki o ka hoʻokele waiwai i ka hiki i nā aupuni o ka ʻāina ke hoʻoponopono i ka hōʻemi waiwai.

"ʻO ka hopena o ka hoʻokele a me ka loaʻa kālā o ka pilikia o ka hoʻokele waiwai o ka honua i ʻike ʻia he ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o ka mea i manaʻo ʻia i kekahi mau hoʻokele waiwai," i ʻōlelo ʻia e S. Hafeez Rahman, Luna Hoʻokele General o ka ADB Pacific Department. "Aia kekahi hihia ikaika no ka hana pū ʻana e hoʻokūpaʻa i kekahi o nā ʻoihana hemahema o ka ʻāpana a kākoʻo i nā hoʻoponopono hou e kūleʻa ai ka hoʻokele waiwai hoʻomau."
ʻO ka loaʻa hou ʻana o nā kumukūʻai o kekahi o nā waiwai nui, ʻo ka hinu ʻaila hoʻi, ke kōkua nei e hāpai i nā mea ulu ma Papua New Guinea a me Timor-Leste. Hāʻawi nā kumukūʻai lāʻau hāʻule i ka ulu ulu ʻole no ko Solomon Pae ʻAilana i ka 2009.

Ke hoʻomaka nei nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi o Australia e hoʻi i ka pae ʻāina ʻo Fiji. Hiki i kēia ke hoʻolohi i ka ulu ʻana o ka mākaʻikaʻi ma nā mokupuni ʻo Kuki, Samoa, Tonga a me Vanuatu no ke koena o ka makahiki. Kuhi ʻia ka ulu ʻana o ka mākaʻikaʻi ma nā wahi huakaʻi nui a pau o ka Pākīpika i ka makahiki 2010.

I loko o ka hapa mua o ka makahiki 2009, ua hoʻomāmā ke kumukūʻai ma waena o ka Pākīpika, koe wale nō nā mokupuni ʻo Fiji, no ka hoʻoliʻiliʻi o ka waiwai. Eia nō naʻe, hiki i ka piʻi hou ʻana o ke kumukūʻai ʻaila ʻaila ke hoʻokuʻi i ka hoʻonui kālā i ke koena o ka makahiki.

Ua hoʻohana ʻia ka ʻikepili mai Australia, New Zealand, USA, a me Asia e hoʻohui i ka ʻikepili mai ka ʻāina a hāʻawi i nā loiloi hou aʻe a me ka uhi ākea o nā ʻoihana Pākīpika.

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

While the global economy is showing signs of stabilizing, the delayed impact on the Pacific from the economic downturn in the USA, Australia and New Zealand – the region’s major trading partner economies –.
