A poor decision by ABG
The National, Tuesday 30th October, 2012
MANY Bougainvilleans are unhappy with the decision of the Autono-mous Bougainville Government (ABG) to invite investors from China to the region.
The main reason for their disapproval is due to the bad experience in other parts of the region and country.
The arrangement was for the Chinese investors
to operate and form partnerships with Bougainvilleans.
This paved the way for the first wholesale store
to be set up in Buin and where things were sold
to customers in bulk only.
Customers were so excited that they poured in from the whole of South Bougainville.
However, the excitement did not last long when they realised the items were imitation.
Aren’t there other investors?
It would be better to invite reputable and reliable investors such as the Japanese.
