Evidence snapshot for Micronesia
Since 2014, the Federated States of Micronesia has achieved dramatic infrastructure and price improvements: fixed-broadband prices fell 99% (from $65 to $0.78/Mbps/month) and mobile-broadband prices fell 96% through submarine cables and regulatory reform, benefiting over 100,000 people. FSM's Secured Transactions Registry, operating since 2006, has recorded over 7,500 registered security interests in movable assets, giving small businesses a collateral channel beyond land-based mortgages. In 2021, FSM elected its first woman to national Congress—Dr. Perpetua Sappa Konman—making it the last Pacific jurisdiction to achieve this milestone. Since 2002, the Micronesia Conservation Trust has mobilised USD 100 million, including a USD 50 million endowment, to fund 150+ protected areas across five Micronesian jurisdictions.
