Fiji is serious about investment — and we are reforming to match that seriousness. We are here to build bankable partnerships that deliver for both our countries and our region.

This has been highlighted by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade, Manoa Kamikamica at a high-level business dialogue with Pacific-focused leaders and professional services partners at the Auckland offices of Grant Thornton New Zealand as part of Fiji’s Trade and Investment Mission to New Zealand.

Kamikamica highlighted Fiji’s steady 3 percent to 4 percent economic growth, strong investment pipeline exceeding $6 billion, and key opportunities in tourism, agriculture, renewable energy, construction, and digital services.

He also stated that ongoing reforms, such as a National Single Window System, Building Permit Approval System, and rollout of National Digital ID will aim to reduce bottlenecks and boost investor confidence.

The discussion also addressed Fiji’s skills development needs, with support for initiatives like a New Zealand–Fiji agricultural trainee exchange.

He adds private sector leaders outlined major projects, including BSP Life’s $500 million tourism and commercial precinct, EFL’s $1 billion green energy road map, and McConnell Dowell’s Fiji operations.

The dialogue closed with a shared commitment to build partnerships, drive implementation, and position Fiji as a ready and reliable investment destination.
