Digital technology has various uses and much potential, but how is it being used in PNG and what lessons can be learnt? This panel at the 2018 PNG Update, held at the University of PNG on 14-15 June, addressed this topic. Presenters spoke on market fee payment through custom-made software; electronic government; lessons from a Goilala ICT project; and whether a bank-led model is the best way to introduce digital financial services in emerging markets.
