Role of the Reserve Bank For close to three decades, the Reserve Bank of Fiji has worked closely with Government, development partners and the private sector to find ways of improving the SME sector’s access to finance and enhancing the sector’s contribution to the economy.
In 1996, the RBF in collaboration with the UNDP hosted a national conference on microfinance which initially led to the set-up of the Microfinance Unit in Government, which has grown into the National Centre for Small and Micro Enterprises Development (NCSMED).
