On finance, I am glad that the Fiji Development Bank is putting its money where its mouth is. The National Centre for Small and Micro Enterprise Development is also a financing option. The Reserve Bank is currently examining ways that can facilitate access to financing for small businesses.
Still on this issue of finance, we have been amazed at the increase in personal remittances from abroad which have provided us with much needed foreign exchange. One of the issues that we are encouraging is for us to spend these remittances in a more useful manner. One of the best ways of doing this is to use these remittances to start small businesses.
