Last year, the economy grew by over 4 percent and I understand that the final figure may be even higher. This level of growth four years in a row, I believe, is hard to match in Fiji’s recent history. Our achievement is even more remarkable if we look back at the volatile and precarious situation that we started from.
I don’t think anyone can argue that our economic management at the macro level has not brought us the desired results. The selected mix of an expansionary fiscal stance and an accommodative monetary policy has worked well to raise domestic demand, which has driven the economy in the last four years.
