Last update: 11 hours agoHospital Funding: The Marshall Islands government says it has secured $160 million to rebuild Majuro and Ebeye hospitals—$100m for Majuro and $60m for Ebeye—backed largely by an Asian Development Bank package plus carry-over Compact funds, with the plan capped to avoid earlier cost blowouts. Digital Money in Majuro: Pacific finance ministers meeting in Majuro will get a hands-on look at the USDM1 digital money system, including use of the Lomalo Wallet, as ministers focus on cushioning fuel-price shocks and boosting private sector and fisheries priorities. Nuclear-Free Pacific Push: The Republic of the Marshall Islands condemned China’s reported submarine-launched nuclear-capable missile test in the South Pacific, saying the region can’t be treated as a stage for military signalling and pointing to the Blue Pacific “Ocean of Peace” approach. Maritime Security & Shipping Risk: The wider region is bracing for fallout from renewed US-Iran strikes after attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, with the Marshall Islands-flagged tanker M/T Al Rekayyat named among the targets—raising fresh concerns for shipping, energy prices, and navigation safety.
