AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Cook Islands Māori Language Week: Communities in Aotearoa are kicking off 2–8 August with a push to protect and pass on te reo Māori Kūki ’Āirani, with diaspora leaders linking language to culture and economic strength. Trade & Payments: Bank of the Cook Islands’ Trade Days wrapped with a record 111 vendors and new digital payment tools, while BSP Cook Islands rolled out upgraded 4G EFTPoS terminals to speed up merchant transactions. Tourism Support: Te Pa’ata is promoting a digital support programme for holiday home operators, offering tools and expert advice to build more resilient tourism businesses. Water Tariffs Misinformation: To Tatou Vai says social media has circulated incorrect residential water tariff figures; the current $1.40/m³ rate remains unchanged for the coming year. Deep-sea Mining Watch: Public comment is open on a US-backed deep-sea exploration proposal involving the Cook Islands, as the ISA still lacks a mining code and regulators cite missing baseline science. Aitutaki Lagoon Plan: Aitutaki’s lagoon management consultation is advancing with a co-management model centred on ra’ui, stronger enforcement, and refreshed island bylaws.
