Neeraj Sharma, Honourary Consul General of the Republic of Palau to India and Mr. Manpreet Singh
Nagi, President, Indian Chambers of International Business (ICIB). Mr. Neeraj Sharma shed light upon
the top imports and exports of Palau. Mr. Sharma also said that Palau is the only country in the
world to have zero COVID+ cases. He spoke about how having one of the lowest populations in the
world has only helped the country in a positive manner. This country also has a very high per-capita
income, which is higher than Philippines, and is close to $9000 p.a. which should bring the
attention of MSMEs to this important fact. Some of the biggest sectors contributing to the country’s
economy are tourism and the fishing industry as well.
