The Fijian Competition and Consumer Commission (FCCC) has announced the resignation of its Chief Executive Officer, Joel Abraham. Abraham has been part of the FCCC since 2013, becoming CEO in 2016. He has been recognized as a transformative leader, dedicated to establishing a regulatory environment that emphasizes fairness, consumer protection, and economic integrity in Fiji and across the Asia-Pacific region.

During his tenure at the FCCC, Abraham focused on safeguarding consumers from unfair business practices by enforcing a robust competition and consumer protection framework. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade, Manoa Kamikamica, praised Abraham’s commitment, asserting that consumers are better off today due to his leadership.

Abraham stated that his decision to resign was a difficult one. He expressed a profound attachment to the FCCC, viewing it not merely as an organization but also as a family and a purpose. He is optimistic about the future of the FCCC, stating that he leaves it in capable hands and is confident in the ongoing investments in staff that will continue to benefit Fijian consumers.

He emphasized that his commitment to serving the people of Fiji and protecting their rights has always been central to his work. Abraham voiced gratitude for the collective strength of the FCCC team, acknowledging that every staff member contributed significantly to the organization’s success.

Looking ahead, he will be pursuing a regional role, aspiring to recreate the standards of excellence achieved at the FCCC throughout the Asia-Pacific. Abraham clarified that this transition is not a farewell, but rather an opportunity for new collaboration in line with FCCC’s mission.

This change in leadership could pave the way for fresh ideas and initiatives that further enhance consumer protection in Fiji. Abraham’s legacy and dedication sets a solid foundation for the FCCC, leaving it well-positioned to continue its important work in the future.

In summary, while the resignation of Joel Abraham may mark the end of an era for the FCCC, it also heralds new beginnings and opportunities for growth and collaboration in ensuring consumer rights are upheld throughout the region.
