Samoan prime minister Tuilaepa Lupesoliai Neioti Aiono Sailele Malielegaoi says the country is committed to its financial centre despite international pressures. He also wants to see the national airline upgraded to bring in more tourists.
“The financial centre should play a very big role in Samoa’s development. Ever since it was established in 1992, we have continued to grow. What happened was [that] because of its belated development, we tended to take the best experience of the other centres and avoid complex policies and try to maintain the good name of the financial centre,” he says.
