Minister for Commerce and Trade Faiyaz Koya says for the real estate sector to thrive – we need to work by the law, we need to bring in the right skills and the right discipline.

While speaking at the Jokhan Realtors PTE Limited Cocktail event, Koya says like all successful businesses, built on strong values and ethics, he can say that these principles and leadership has brought Jokhan Realtors to where it is today.

Koya further says every sector has had its fair share of challenges, but we have endured a once in a lifetime pandemic.

He adds everyone has had to work smarter to find solutions so that every Fijian has the opportunity to one day, own their own home.

Koya says the Ministry of Commerce, Trade, Tourism and Transport, together with the REALB has developed initiatives to ensure the real estate sector remains consistent, reliable and of choice to its customers.
