Fiji

In Fiji, we are supporting reforms that create an accommodating environment for businesses to be established, to innovate, and to increase productivity. 

PSDI has been working with the Government of Fiji to:

  • Increase the availability of business financing through secured transactions collateral reforms, the deepening of capital markets, and the introduction of innovative financing products. 

  • Develop effective SOE policy and legislative reform and support SOE commercialization

  • Strengthen the capacity of the Fiji Competition and Consumer Commission and draft a national competition and consumer protection bill;

  • Support a gender-inclusive private sector enabling environment.

  • Support a sustainable and inclusive tourism sector.
