The President of Fiji Chamber of Commerce and Industry Doctor Nur Bano Ali says they will leave all rental negotiations to the tenants and landlords as they are in a better position to understand the situation.

This is after they received reports from their members on the difficulties they are facing with meeting their costs including rental payments.

Doctor Ali says they are also requesting all businesses to support each other as best they can during these trying times as most if not all businesses have been affected due to COVID-19.

She says the Fiji Chamber of Commerce and Industry is especially concerned about the Small and Medium Enterprises and will continue to seek relief for them in various forms of funding that can be made available.

Doctor Ali says funding options for Small and Medium Enterprise are available through RBF which can be accessed via the financing institutions.
