But I remember that occasion well because of what was happening in the country at that time. The Military had taken over government only two weeks before that. The situation in Suva was still tense and no one was really sure what was going to unfold.
It was therefore remarkable that BSP made the decision to open its first branch irrespective of what was happening in Fiji. It was a bold but right decision. It clearly reflects three things. First, BSP likes to have their official openings in the morning. I have been to many openings of bank branches and agencies. I believe that they were all in the evenings.
