How can we grow faster?” Obviously in order to grow faster we need to do many things, some of which are quite challenging to do, but we need to get started. I will highlight the two that I think are the most important. We must raise investment Firstly, we need to raise investment to over 25 percent of GDP.
Unfortunately this ratio has fallen from around 18% of GDP in 2006 to around 15% last year, and there is little sign of a pickup so far. We need to turn this around. Attracting foreign investment is not easy for small nations like Fiji.
