The Fijian Competition and Consumer Commission (FCCC) has announced the resignation of its Chief Executive Officer, Joel Abraham. Serving as CEO since 2016 and with the organization since 2013, Abraham has been a pivotal figure in developing a regulatory framework that emphasizes fairness, consumer protection, and economic integrity within Fiji and the broader Asia-Pacific region.

Under Abraham’s leadership, the FCCC has strengthened its commitment to safeguarding consumers from unethical business practices by implementing a robust competition and consumer protection strategy. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade, Co-operatives, SMEs, and Communication, Manoa Kamikamica, praised Abraham’s contributions, highlighting the significant advancements in consumer rights during his tenure.

Abraham expressed that his decision to resign was not an easy one. He reflected on the past 13 years, describing the FCCC as more than just an organization—calling it a family and a purpose-driven community. He assured that the FCCC would continue to thrive under the capable leadership of the remaining team, emphasizing the importance of the staff in establishing the organization’s recognition and success.

Looking forward, Abraham is set to pursue a regional role where he aims to extend the principles of excellence he fostered at the FCCC across the Asia-Pacific. He reassured that this change represents merely a transition, not a farewell, as he remains committed to collaborating with the FCCC on shared objectives.

This leadership change marks a significant moment for the FCCC, but it also shines a light on the growth opportunities that lie ahead for Abraham and the organization. With his dedication to consumer rights and regulatory excellence, there’s optimism for the future of consumer protection initiatives both in Fiji and the surrounding regions.

In summary, Joel Abraham’s departure from the FCCC closes a transformative chapter but opens doors to new possibilities for both him and the organization he has significantly influenced.
