Summary

Solomon Islands faces challenges in fiscal data governance despite reforms. While the Public Financial Management Act (PFMA) of 2013 aimed to enhance transparency, inconsistent implementation and resource constraints persist. This paper highlights key issues and recommendations, including adherence to public finance management good practices, enhanced and regularly disseminated financial reporting, and better utilization of the current Financial Management Information System. Strengthening coordination and capacity building is crucial for robust fiscal governance, fostering transparency and investor confidence. Addressing these challenges can enhance public finance management and long-term economic stability.
