Hon NANAIA MAHUTA: Our whanaungatanga link to the Pacific means that we are particularly mindful of the economic impact of COVID-19 in the Pacific. While most of the Pacific has avoided the health impacts of the pandemic, economies have been seriously damaged and development gains have been stalled by the closure of borders and the collapse of the tourism industry. There is worrying data and analysis which highlights stark economic vulnerabilities that have been heightened by COVID-19—closed borders, a drop in tourism—impacting sector-dependent businesses. Declining living standards and deepening inequalities will have flow-on effects for the region's long-term resilience. Going forward, we will work alongside Pacific partners to support a resilience strategy, as we make further Official Development Assistance announcements in the near future.
