Speaking at the signing, TISA Insurance Chief Executive Officer David Ariff Chan stresses that this year’s theme, Give to Gain: Investing in Women to Transform Our Future, highlights an issue that is deeply important for Fiji socially, economically and nationally.

Chan says investing in women-led enterprises is not only the right thing to do but is also essential for the country’s long-term growth.

He says that insurance provides real protection and peace of mind,and is much more than just a financial product stressing women entrepreneurs and leaders deserve financial systems that support their confidence and ambitions.
