The World Bank has approved $68 million in credit and grant financing for seven Pacific island countries.

The funding aims to allow the nations to stay connected with the international financial system at a time when they are at risk of losing their last correspondent banking relationships.

The World Bank said in a statement on September 6 that the funding would cover Fiji, Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu and regional organisation the Pacific Islands Forum.
