Vanuatu Government slashes import duties to curb inflation

The Vanuatu government has slashed import duties on fuel, rice, and chicken wings in an effort to curb inflation.

As the Daily Post reports, the order, signed by the finance minister Johnny Koanapo, lowered the price of petrol by 10 Vatu per litre ($US0.082).

For one kilo of rice the duty rate has been dropped from 15 percent to five percent.
