Data from a rolling survey of Pacific businesses has returned some promising signs the region's economic recovery maybe gathering momentum.
The Pacific Business Monitor surveys were launched shortly after the start of the pandemic last year by the Pacific Trade Invest Network to keep track of how businesses in the region are faring.
Its latest edition indicates a much brighter future for small to medium enterprises compared to the same period last year with 52 percent of Pacific businesses surveyed now expecting a return to pre-COVID revenues by 2022 .
