Several regional and national strategies establish programmes running through the second half of the decade. This timeline draws on official public sources to separate established developments from proposed future actions.
2025 launches
- Fiji launched its National E-commerce Strategy 2025–2029.
- Fiji's National Digital Strategy 2025–2030 set a broader five-year transformation agenda.
2026 developments
- Papua New Guinea released a draft National Sovereign Digital Transformation and AI Strategy for public consultation — a draft, not yet adopted legislation.
- A Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat report informed members of regional e-commerce priorities for 2026.
Beyond 2026
- Samoa's national ICT policy establishes priorities extending toward 2030/31.
- The World Bank Group's 2026–2031 partnership framework with Pacific Island countries prioritises jobs and resilience, including improved connectivity.
The practical takeaway
These developments do not guarantee commercial results for individual businesses. They do show that digital infrastructure, skills and economic participation remain significant regional priorities — and that businesses that start building a digital presence now are better positioned as these programmes mature.
