The Reserve Bank has been in the forefront of the development of microfinance in Fiji.
Since the RBF and Government co-hosted the first Fiji national conference on microfinance in 1998 and the subsequent formalising of the microfinance unit, the RBF has played a more promotional approach to microfinance, in the sense of open advocacy, advisory to government and moral suasion of commercial banks to contribute to this important area.
