The economy of Solomon Islands experienced a significant contraction because of the coronavirus disease pandemic, though a fragile recovery is underway with prospects resting largely on opportunities in mining, agriculture, fishing, and tourism. The ADB has been supporting Solomon Islands since 1973; its assistance focused on developing infrastructure to support inclusive growth, including transport assets, renewable energy, and water supply and sanitation.
ADB’s country operations business plan, 2021-2023 for Solomon Islands will continue to support three priority sectors: transport, public sector management, and urban infrastructure and planning.
