FEAR & GREED | Business News · Q+A: $2bn pipeline: how Aussie businesses can win work in the Pacific · 16 Apr 2026 podcast

Oh, there's a lot going on.

The opportunity is two-sided though.

So on the Pacific side, there's a lot of development finance that's come in the last five years.

So as you say,

Asian Development Bank, the World Bank, the Australian government is out here in force, New Zealanders, the European Union, the list goes on.

So there's heaps of development finance coming into the region.

But from the Australian business side, there's opportunity as well.

So the Pacific Islands don't necessarily have heaps of domestic capacity to absorb all of this finance.

So if you're looking at building a $100 million project in a country with 10,000 people in it,

you start asking questions about what expertise do you need to bring in to actually deliver it you can't just build an airport magically so there's a lot of expertise and opportunity in australia to plug in there's a lot of money coming in there's a lot of opportunity a lot of impactful work and a need for the australian expertise to support

Yeah, fair question.

And it does range from 100 million, 180 million actually is the largest.

There's a lay port redevelopment.

So that's 180 mil US.

Goes right down to small consulting jobs.

I like to keep it simple in my own brain.

And so there's three categories.

One is civil works.

So if you're a builder and that could be in transport, water, energy, social infrastructure, there's schools and hospitals.

There's really cool projects in social infrastructure as well.
