The financial crisis in USA in late 2007 led to fall in economic activities in the industrialized countries. A global recession was triggered, with resulting decline in imports from Pacific island countries (PICs) and falling tourism earnings. Monetary policy options available to six PICs, which have independent currencies, are explored. Except PNG, which switched on to a flexible exchange regime in 1994, the other five PICs namely, Fiji, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu, have fixed exchange rate regimes. The policy response has to vary with the nature of exchange rate regimes. An evaluation of the measures undertaken so far by the central banks of the six PICs is attempted.
