Our growth outlook is favourable and continues to be driven by the strong investment, including by domestic investors, and consumption activity. This has been supported by the resilience of our tourism and inward remittances which continue to grow strongly despite the slowing global economy.
I am happy to say that our financial sector is sound and our external position remains stable with adequate reserves and a modest current account balance. Our forecasts on the Fijian economy are consistent with those of the IMF Article IV team which was here two weeks ago.
