Speaking to Radio Australia, Emeritus Professor at Australian National University Ron Duncan highlighted that one issue to be discussed is whether the Reserve Bank of Fiji should have devalued the Fiji dollar earlier.
However, Duncan said the tourism industry in Fiji is still not raking in the desired results in terms of revenue.
