There were about 15,000 new vehicles on our roads last year.
This was highlighted by the Minister for Economy and Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum at the 2017/2018 Public Budget Consultations at Penang Sangam High School.
Sayed-Khaiyum says last year there was a total of 4,929 new vehicles on our roads and 10,152 second hand vehicles.
He says compared to 2005, there were 3,363 new vehicles and 6,088 second hand vehicles on our roads.
He says the rate of registration for new vehicles in Fiji increased by 27.5 percent last year while second hand vehicles registration went up by 7.8%.
Sayed-Khaiyum says a lot of people now own their own vehicles because the government has reduced the duty on vehicles.
