Appropriation Bill 2026-2027: Second Reading Speech (President David Adeang, 20 July 2026)

President's 2026-27 Appropriation Bill second reading speech (20 Jul 2026, 17 pp.): p. 7 non-tax revenue $19.4 million incl. $9 million projected from the programme; first full year FY2025-26: 103 applications (about 9 a month), $3.7 million received against a $9 million budget, 52 approved, 9 rejected, rest in process or withdrawn; discounted pricing introduced; programme expected to rival fisheries revenue within three to five years (not a number to record). Rest: budget aggregates, RPC, social measures, CRVAA etc. Added the 2026-27 projection; the other counts were already recorded. The 'approximately 9 applications per month' average is not recorded as a row, because it would sit beside the 103 for the same indicator and year and read as a conflicting figure.
