[pacificdata.org](pacificdata.org) – the Pacific Data Hub – is the central repository of open data and knowledge products about the Pacific region. Anyone can access the public data on the Pacific Data Hub. You are encouraged to search, reuse and share the data on pacificdata.org.
The Pacific Data Hub holds a large and diverse collection of data, data insights, publications, and knowledge products on the Pacific across key sectors, including population statistics, fisheries, geoscience, agriculture, aquaculture, energy, education, human rights, climate change, and oceans, and it continues to grow.
While the intention is for the Pacific Data Hub to become a multi-stakeholder-owned and managed platform, it is currently a product of the Pacific Community (SPC), and as such is governed by SPC’s internal documents.
Let us know how you are using the data hub or if you wish to contribute to our data catalogue.

This report was prepared by Apruva Sanghi and Alan Bartmanovich. The supply of liquid petroleum based fuel products in OECD countries is a competitive business, with multinational oil companies such as BP, ExxonMobil, Shell and Total competing with each other to generate profits. In the remote small-island states such as in the Pacific or Caribbean, fuel markets are considered too small to have such beneficial competition. This paper highlights how two of the smallest Pacific small island states— Samoa and American Samoa—have harnessed competitive forces to lower fuel prices, resulting in economy-wide benefits. Understanding the ‘Samoan models’ has important implications for other small island states concerned with spiralling fuel costs and their adverse developmental impacts.
