Basically, we need to raise investment and exports, improve business conditions, accelerate reforms, raise productivity and diversify the economy. We need to raise investment in Fiji to over 25 percent of GDP from its current level of 13 percent. While we have some local investment, it is not sufficient.
Hence we need to attract foreign investment to our shores which entails improving the investor environment. We need to implement policies that will improve the state of our infrastructure, improve productivity levels and lower the cost of business in Fiji. Improving infrastructure is extremely important to facilitate economic growth. Fiji’s infrastructure has suffered from neglect and investment in the past.
