The Government of Samoa is committed to providing an attractive investment environment for both foreign and local investors. Samoa has undergone numerous reforms in the past few years such as low labour costs, favourable exchange rates and an overall stable economy supported by years of political stability.

Foreign investment is a crucial component towards Samoa’s growing economy which has been further strengthened by its membership to the World Trade Organization in 2012.
