The pathway to creating 100,000 new jobs over the next decade in Fiji is on the right track after a new partnership between Investment Fiji and Outsource Fiji was formalized today through a Memorandum of Understanding.

This MOU will allow both organizations to coordinate and share data for investment facilitation while assisting investors in the outsourcing sector to set up in Fiji.

Investment Fiji CEO, Kamal Chetty says Fiji has already secured its position by attracting renowned ICT investors to locate their back offices here, placing the country as the hub of the Pacific.

Chetty says over the past two years, the sector has maintained steady growth and provided employment opportunities to around 3000 Fijians.

Meanwhile Outsource Fiji Executive Director Sagufta Janif says the new partnership will diversify Fiji’s economy.

Janif adds that signing this MoU would ensure that there is a consistent message about the outsourcing industry on global platforms.
