Private Sector TaskForce
Helping support Cook Islands businesses through the disruption and uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Private Sector TaskForce (PSTF) was formed in March 2020 to help support Cook Islands businesses large and small through the disruption and uncertainty brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. Comprised of members from both the private and public sectors – including the Chamber of Commerce, Tourism Industry Council, CITC, Air Rarotonga, Cook Islands Tourism Corporation, Internal Affairs and others – the Private Sector Taskforce (PSTF) is tasked with measuring the impacts of the economic downturn and determining how to best mitigate those impacts, with a focus on providing practical assistance to local businesses.
The PSTF also works to ensure that all businesses have the ability to access the Wage Subsidy, Business Grant and Sole Traders Grant schemes, and will support any who need assistance with completing the application process for these schemes.
