IMF warns deficits, global risks could slow Solomon Islands growth
IMF flags slower growth and rising inflation risks for Solomon Islands due to large deficits and global tensions.
An IMF team has warned that the Solomon Islands economy, while having grown in 2025, faces slower growth and higher inflation in 2026 due to global tensions and domestic fiscal pressures. The conflict in the Middle East is projected to slow growth to 2.7 percent in 2026 and raise inflation to 4.8 percent on average. Prolonged global instability could further weaken the outlook, and the IMF stresses that reducing fiscal deficits and rebuilding liquidity buffers are critical. Climate change is also highlighted as a long‑term risk to the country's economic outlook.
